The Beat of a Mother's Heart

How can a mother let go of her precious child
A child she carried, cuddled, and corrected when wild
A child who taught her how to love as a mother
And how to how hold a torch of Light like no other

This child taught this mother that her love is deeper, wider, and more intense
Than she could have ever thought, ever imagined, or ever begun to sense
Her love continues and grows as vast as the wind blows and it even goes
Beyond human reason, especially when in the face of hardships or foes

Loving my child has challenged me, changed me, and chiseled and shaped me
By stretching me, bending me, turning me, and twisting me
In ways that have made me strong and weak simultaneously and have constantly
Kept me on the tips of my toes and kneeling down on my knees, praying fervently

No.  A mother really can never ever part
With a child who is the beat of her heart
Who she would gladly go before God for
Who she prays to share with in the glories of Heaven forevermore!

In Light's Spilling, Still Dim

An iridescent coverlet of cool, mourning mist
Surrounds my smoldering thoughts of a hoped for tryst
My ears attune to the silence echoing from deep within
And my soul cries out in Light's spilling, still so dim

My pounding heart pours out a message as the fog begins to fade
I implore, i beseech, i beg that our meeting will not be long delayed

Please hush my pleading! Do you, can you possibly hear
The heartfelt words that are carried inside my every tear
Let our eyes mirror the musical whisperings of my dreams
And the splashes of joy by the merging of our two streams
