My Dear Mother
Dear Lord keep my mother safe from harm She has endured much sorrow Secure her in your loving arms She is not sure of tomorrow Guide her path, make clear her way Mother so generous and kind Be with her each day Gentle, loving, qualities in her we find Several years past she lost her soul mate They both raised four Often times she cannot concentrate Four grew up and forever more She hoped her son would live With her as she lives alone His father's possessions she yearned to give Anxiously she waited for a voice on the phone Voice of the one and only boy He made her smile Her hope, love, and joy Lasting for a short while One morning sad news arrived Her bundle of joy, the young man She was told would not survive Regretfully, sorrowfully, another plan Dear Lord through your divine grace Keep my mother in your care Hold that special heavenly place You have for her when she can no longer bear. © 2007 Janet Irene Griffin Vote for this poem
