Facing my new reality can be overwhelming
I am blessed to be the mother of two sons
one of which is accomplishing great things
here on earth and the other is in heaven
I have always been proud of both of my sons,
and of course, I love them both no matter what,
but it is difficult knowing that my youngest chose
heaven instead of earth
Why is that? He was plagued by mental illness
on earth and now he is whole and at peace,
what mother wouldn't want that for their child?
Why is it causing such grief for all of us?
Because we are human, and God's ways are
sometimes hard to understand, but I am hearing him
as he tells me to "rest in me"
So, I will rest and trust and hope to eventually find peace
If you want to know why our ancestors are important…
here’s a little rule of thumb…
It’s difficult to know where we’re going…
If we don’t know who we came from.
Butting heads, locking horns
the difficult child of three
if any one was causing grief
It was always going to be me,
the stubborn chip
and that stubborn old block
never at ease we two
so I left and made a life for myself
far from the one you knew,
you pushed too hard
to tie me down
I went and you felt betrayed
you never saw my need to go
I could never see why you stayed
I found it so difficult to write a poem
about my biological mother
I finally
wrote “Oh, Mama”.
It is a sad poem about daughter/mother
relationship, like a crumpled picture
or a torn picture separating me,
being a fragmented piece of my family.
Will I get an answer why she
treated me so differently?
No answer then.
Never will be.

Used: How Many Syllables
I am writing this poem for you today
Can’t believe you have really gone away
You were a beautiful person with a kind soul
It’s so difficult to say goodbye and let you go
Your laugh was infectious, your spirit always warm
You could put out family fires and calm the storms
Fond memories with you flood my mind, make me smile
I Remember when you tutored me, going the extra mile
I will cherish memories of our holiday celebrations
You always made them fun and special occasions
You are at peace now; I know it was your time to part
Memories of you Uncle Walt, I will hold close to my heart
There is an illiness in the family
My sister has a health problem
She went to see the doctor
He sent her for some tests
The doctor said it was stones
He said "we all get stone in the jaw"
"Nothing to worry about
For awhile she forgot about it
Soon more symptons found
This followed by more tests
At the hospital more tests
Followed by others in Toronto
All the tests
must be done
Waiting was so difficult to do
Wondering about the outcome
So june passed, July passed
August came went for results
The three of went to hear
It was not easy to listen to
Doctor just spoke the words
No one wanted to hear
:It is lung cancer"
For surgery to be done
Will be September 19th
For her surgery to be done
Doctor said -"It was caught
in time
Like father, like son, amazing how that happens
Seems inherent in families, an obligatory passion
Unavoidable joy
Since mine was a boy
A bond so tight, difficult to fathom
Like branches of a rooted, sturdy tree
a family survives, each limb entwined,
to grow and nurture- embrace happily
the joyfulness and sufferings combined.
On sunny days the branches lift to find
the beauty of blue skies and sparkling air.
On stormy ones, a teary, rain-like prayer
of joint compassion lightens up the blow.
Both difficult and easy times they share,
united through life's ceaseless ebb and flow.
The Bible is extremely difficult to understand
Even by Bible scholars
It was written in languages long dead
In the manner and idiom of the time
To interpret the Bible the Bible
It is not only necessary to understand the languages in which the Bible was written
But to understand the languages in which the Bible was written
Had the time they were written
The Bible, Therefore has to be understood
And for Catholics, the Church
Guided by the Holy Spirit
Is the official guardian and infallible interpreter of the Bible
I AM WITH YOU
“I AM WITH YOU” so speaks the Divine Father
I am your master, your true principle
even your creator and I am for ever with you
and a mystery chum
You have to heed me
especially when your reality
seems murky and your obligations
difficult- do not waver nor blame me
Draw near, my children
listen to my commands
learn and be productive with out
hesitation never forgetting that
I am with you both now and forever!
