Her Last Mother's Day

This poem is dedicated to the memory of my loving
mother Jessie, to all my family, to those of yet
to come, and to every Mom, Dad, and child who
understands these words. It was her desire to pass
into His rest. As we discovered one Mother's Day,
the morning's first Light had granted her wish.
The depth of who she was is shining now,
~ And will so always be ~
* * * * *
It was from the strength of a blessed flower
that lead me to the avenue of a cancer chat line.
A Jewel I followed of her greater works of art,
a smile of hope through the gift of words.
Not that my mother had cancer, but the truth that
all are dying in this life . . . is seen in those who will
yet live again. There I found a room so warm, as if
covered by the shelter of an Angel's wing.
The strength of these that are nearer
the Door of Heaven, as in their strength was
shared, has brought these bolder words and this
image of truth to you today. Something I thought
would forever remain in my treasure box,
~ Is now set free ~

It was that day for every mother
The day she breathed her last
As the Angels reaped another
May we look back on the past
The fruit thereof her lips, we heard
Gave honor to His name
That her prayers may not be hindered
Her children to regain
We all knew the time was nearing
That hour set by Him
The One she prayed was hearing
To save her from all sin
It is said we do not realize
What we have until it's gone
And so this heart of sorrow cries
Await until the Dawn
As she lived the strength of Jesus
A salvation right and true
Her lamp was meant to lead us
Her Light for me and you
A Day that's set to be with her
This Vision laced of white
That's filled of fragrant oils of myrrh
That helps us through the night
Through all her pain and suffering
That Satan did inflect
This crown of thorns had made a Queen
This image does depict
She believed in all His power
Forever to be free
And until that final hour
She prayed for you and me
As I recall now of her face
A smile for this to come
As she described a Higher Place
Of where these thoughts come from
As time and time again we found
Her praying silently
How I have learned of such renowned
To be a Blessed Tree
That Place her Papa said they'd meet
When all our time's fulfilled
If we would bow before His feet
As this, our Father willed
Let's return this to our mother
The gift she left behind
That we should love each other
Through Jesus shall we bind
Amen
Michael
