Father, Mother is gone.
I'm a child again. I'm sad
(and for good reason).
She gave me birth.
She kindled faith.
She provided roots and wings.
This precious saint who walked with You
first taught me how to sing.
She calmed my fears,
affirmed my plans
and filled my heart with hope.
She prayed for me when hope seemed gone
when I knew I couldn't cope.
They say you never can predict
how much you'll miss your mom
until you start to phone her
and you realize she's gone.
(They're right.)
This one who flamed with love for you
(the light of my life) has passed.
Her present is my future.
at rest with You at last.
Please comfort me.

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages, nor would all necessarily agree with me. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.
A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
