God's Most Beautiful Angel-A Mother's Grief
Driving Forever
Driving Forever
Why is this road so long?
It seems like we have been driving forever.
Is something wrong?
Is our destination near?
What is this I am feeling?
Is it fear?
I turn to look…to catch a glimpse… of who’s behind the wheel.
It has to be another…but… there is no one to touch or feel.
How can this be it’s in control… no weaving and no crash.
I glance again and stare amazed at me encased in black.
I watch myself in horror as I struggle to get out.
As I try to gain control…I realize… I am in trouble there is no doubt.
I turn away to look ahead…the windshield is all cracked.
The road is coming to an end and I am running out of slack.
I am going to die…I know it. I feel it in my soul.
I brace myself for impact and begin to toss and roll.
I see a light straight up ahead its getting very close.
And in the light I see her face… she is beautiful…even as a ghost.
She tells me she is happy and that it is wonderful where she is.
She tells me it is not my time and I am meant to live.
She says I must go on… for loves sake… and for all the little ones I must be strong.
She is with God so who am I to say that she is wrong.
I felt my heart get lighter as I realized she was right.
The image of myself I saw was once again encased in light.
I dared to glance once more her way and she was glowing bright.
She blew a kiss and turned and walked away….into a peaceful night.
