Where is she now ?
~~~


A  teardrop
stains  a  cobblestone
a  world
exhales  a  sigh
The plea
within a whispered thought
spills  out
from  hidden  eye
A  distant  promise
on  the wind
drifts  down  from  those  above
Unfolds  a  heart
within  its  song
then ...
refills  that  world
with  love
~~~



Dedicated to my Mom
who passed away peacefully, on Friday Dec.15,2000
Thanks to you all for your support and prayers
Rex, Gerry and Family

Rex~
My condolences in the loss of your mother.
Keep her spirit alive in your holiday thoughts.
This is a lovely memorial write.
She is with Him and at peace.
I have lifted your family in prayer.
Bless you and yours.

Rex, when I first read this, I thought perhaps you were speaking of Mary, Mother of Jesus. This morning I read Marge's post in Announcements. I wanted to come back and let you know that I am sorry I did not see the exact meaning behind your words. My mother passed away on my mother-in-law's birthday eight years ago. I know the difficulty of celebrating happy with tears. My hugs to you, my friend...
