Jill Malison-Cooney Poem
you`ve worked so hard all your life
before and since dad called you wife
you love the lord selflessly faithfully and trusting too
i`m grateful and thankful mom i`ll always love you
you never put limits on prayers hugs or kisses
your love is spot on and never once misses
your patience is legend and all that you teach
seldom scolding anyone you live what you preach
your laughing eyes mischeavious smile that i love so much
you beam radiantly through life with a firm gentle touch
from your body mind and soul to the soles of your feet
you aren`t like anyone else you are blessedly unique
honesty and forgiveness you passed on from your youth
give the best you have and the best will have you
i`ve told you all this before
but you deserve much more
i love you mom thanks for my being
looking past my faults
goodness always seeing
you are truly a treasure to all a rare and beautiful find
from heaven to earth a loving one of a kind
on the bottom of my heart is a key
to my precious memories
you gave all you have and more
in my prayers i ask the lord
let her see and know
what she means to me
a daughter to mother
true love story
thanks mom for all the prayers said
and for your example life`s right where you lead

Jill Malison-Cooney Poem
i felt He wasn`t listening
when i knelt beside my bed
before i laid down on my pillow
the days cares filled my head
why did that have to happen?
i`m a good person why?
there on my knees that night
i felt that i might cry
i do unto others
as i`d like to have done
why all this fear and worry
i`ve not hurt anyone
my stomach knotted my tears fell
i thought my heart might break
what else do you want of me?
what else can i take?
this is all
too many burdens for me
help me understand
why all this must be
crying all in then
i sank upon the floor
please dear Jesus i don`t think
i can handle anymore
i`ll let go of this soon
i promise to give it to you
if you`ll just explain why?
and what am i to do?
was i such a child in Him
in my house in my room
right there and then
my whole life changed
in a flash of light
He was kneeling in prayer
in Gethsemane that night
He was asking questions too
one i`d just asked of Him
He was to be crucified
a final sacrifice for sin
He`d asked His disciples
to watch with Him and stay
but they fell asleep too tired
to kneel with Him and pray
i heard myself quetioning Him
why would you do this give your life for my sin?
"I LOVE YOU DEAR SO MUCH"
my precious savior explained
"i`m dying for the world
to make white the blackest sin
i`m sacrificing my life
no greater love than this
to lie down life for another
life for death my gift"
then i clearly understood
He took the cross in my place
while i`d been whining His holy blood
fell as sweat upon His face
i woke like from a dream
i`ll not lose dreams awful sight
i realized with great shame
my day had been alright
i prayed a new prayer of thanksgiving
for loving me so unselfishly
i pray all hearts open to the love of God
God`s love waits patiently
He could have chosen not to die
that day on calvarys hill
He did ask to be delivered
but surrendered to His Fathers will
now i count it all joy
when troubles come my way
i kneel beside my bed each night
and with a thankful heart i pray
