Author’s note: Here are three of my poems. The first is about the preciousness and grace of mother’s love. The second, about the central person or savior that brings God’s love to us and awakens that love for others in us. The third is about the parental heart — our parental heart reaching out for all God’s lost children.
Mother, I Thank You
Mother, I thank you
For the wind isn’t hollow
And the air isn’t dry
And the world isn’t over
And I didn’t die
A gentle breeze blows and tears fill the sky with your heart of compassion
My God am I…
To live with you present in the depths of my soul
Thank you dear mother, my one and my all
Mother, I thank you
’Cause you can’t turn away
When you know that I’m hurting yet I’ve nothing to say
For the mistakes that I’ve made and the pain that I caused
Still my life didn’t end
It just paused…
And yes, I can feel you deep in my soul
In a land that is barren
In a land that is old
The sadness arises
