TO MOM

Probably my favorite hymn of all is

"In the Garden"

it is plain to see you have spent a lot of time
in that very same garden, Mom.

In the past year I have walked
in the garden but feeling
as if I was there by myself,
lost, afraid, angry and broken hearted.

             Not only the dew but the tears,
that flowed as heavy as a river,
prevented me from seeing the beauty.

I strained to hear that voice
that was so sweet and gentle
that had brought me
so much peace and happiness,
but I could not hear a word.

God never gives up on any of us
and I believe He used His experience
through your walks with Him
 to bring reassurance to me through you.

Thank you for being my guardian angel
through this past trial.

I love you Mom.
