Destination of Soul

30 November 2005


This destination of two souls
where the road was but one way to travel
A place so scarred from past encounters
this bump of yesterdays misgivings

Just to know you were there
next to me - yet deep inside
For you were my heaven
my tranquil being to ponder

Your beauty was a retrospect of love
no one could hold you in that same light
Nothing was taken to a beginning

Though journey delivered
on a morning all those years ago
Mother I love you
and I am proud to be you son


“Honour thy father and thy mother: and,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
Matthew 19: 19 KJV

A endearing write with which to honour your mother. Very touching, dear poet who cares.

I honestly told me mother these words "I am proud to be you son" , some 40 minutes before I composed this poem, while I was prompted to write this poem, from reading of a poem written by a Canadian

I also read this poem out at my mother's funeral in March 2006, and shared these words with Martie and Sunshine, before that day of my mother's funeral.

When it is nice to have friendships and consider they are real, even if distance and meeting becomes the barrier to this life.

It is so good you got to read this to her while she was still with you, Poet.  What a beautiful tribute and you honor her.  *hugs*
