A Mother Remembered

 

In the comfort of your womb,

I hear your voice,

Beckoning me toward life

 

In the stillness of the morning

I open my eyes to a beautiful sight—

Your face, mother

 

Filled with love and grace,

I feel so cherished that

The Lord has brought me to you.

 

In the years that follow,

I grew in confidence and faith

Guided by your hands, mother

I am completed with

Encouragements and praises

 

Though the years kept going

But you, mother stood still with love

Supporting me with your strength

Blessed—be your name

 

And now that I am older with kids

Of my own— grandma

You’re needed here

 Our hearts cries for you.

 

A light glows softly, calling you

Arms comforting, surrounding me—

The Lord has called you home

 

I hear you whisper, like a kiss upon my cheek

Telling me you are still here,

I just need to look toward heaven

To find you, and hear you say

 

“I am at peace my child,

home with the Father

 Do not be in despair

for all will be well—

I will always be with you my child”

 

And so I cry, for it’s the only thing to do

To feel your comfort, so you may know

That I miss you so—I need you so

 

 

Your light will never stop shining bright

And your love and values will live on—

For I know that you will always be with me

Mother, may you rest in peace
