blue purple clouds
shafts of rose
still waters
quiet time
only the clock ticking
inner peace
stopping time
no more running
slowing down time
different paces
different places
sifting through
the stuff of living
collected over
many many years
a well worn Bible
letter inserts
from Aunt Fanny
and from Beth
words of comfort
Scripture verses
Your Word Lord
bringing grace
sitting here
in mom’s chair now
winding down
. thinking of you, mom
thanking you
so many gifts given
love without strings
forgiveness and patience
bedtime prayers
come to mind now
“I am so blessed
I am so blessed”
“thank You Lord
for my father
who taught me You
are always near”
“thank You Lord
for my good husband
loving father
son and friend”
“thank You Lord
for gift of family
always bringing
someone to help me”
“and the Lord’s prayer
that Jesus gave us
it says it all
can ask for no more”
thank You Lord
for mom’s life of gratitude
thank You Lord
You store my memories
each day I pray
take all my memory
that I may forget
what’s best forgotten
and remember
all that draws me
nearer Lord
to You to You
thank You Lord
that You forgive me
and those You receive
forgive me too
praise the God
Who lives in my heart
Who gave me life
Who loves me still
praise You Lord
You hold my mother
in Your arms
so very gently
praise You Lord
I live to praise You
how could I not
and yet survive?
quiet hours
inner stillness
bringing time
to remember Love
thank You Lord
You give me time
space to process
life worth living
