More Ways

For a week ago this week mourns the passing and celebrates the life…

 

   More Ways

A dear friend passed ‘way
Ninety three. More ways than one
The day’s her birthday

We miss her…

A Child Cries

I’m sure I’ve posted this before, and I’m sure I will again…

Contemplating mothers…

   A Child Cries

A child cries
And a mother runs
To dry those eyes
And protect that son

Years of nurturing that child
Uncertain sure but always trying to do it right
Wanting him strong but yet not too wild
And independent sure but not too far out of sight

Loving him all the while
Sometimes he was good and sometimes bad
But always a trial
And scaring her yet making her glad

A child cries
And a mother runs
To dry those eyes
And protect that son

This is the way that s child grows
And yes it’s the story of mothers too
As time continually flows
Until he’s grown and gone like she always knew

Now that he’s out on his own
There’s moments she has to worry and wonder
Raising him how well’s he grown?
Ever afraid she’s made some great blunder

A child cries
And a mother runs
To dry those eyes
And protect that son

And does he still even care?
Can she still find a way to play some small part
In this life she wants to share?
Growing’s surely hard on a mother’s heart

Then a mother cries
And that same child quickly runs
To dry those eyes
And comfort as she had done

We Grieve

Contemplating grief…

   We Grieve

Wishing it a lie
But knowing it’s not we grieve
More tears and goodbyes

Feelings encumbered
The joy and the hurt of it
He’ll be remembered

At Peace

Contemplating strength…

   At Peace

Departing the vet’s
A young son comforts his mom
He’ll run. Heaven lets

Him join his brother
In heaven he’ll be at peace
It’s ok mother…

For Him

Contemplating the right thing…

   For Him

Panting and nervous
The meds got to go. For him
What’s right he trusts

If his time is short
Should not make him suffer more
For him. Now more short

Might Help

This week’s for a loyal and huge heart and for those that love him. There will be some tears as we prepare to say goodbye…

Contemplating hope…

   Might Help

The news is so sad
But medicine might help for
A while not so bad

Having Known Moments

Contemplating the hurt of it…

   Having Known Moments

Too many misses
Moments I blew now there’s no
More hugs and kisses

Unending pain goes
With the joy of having known
A sweet little rose

Once more I’d wish it
Brief though it was, full of joy
A baby’s visit
