5139 Memories of Mother 02 March 2006 One day like no other a day God in Him did decide This March forth of time so He took way a life in Mother No regret to those days borne her motherhood an honour to child No promise to understand death to day of time decided Her soul blessed in passing the summer cast to autumn in fall Precious and loved in waves of birth her beach sands of iron to silicon white Memories never to char of smoulder embers of ashes to burial unscathed Her heart tempered in the cauldron of living laundered in God’s calling her home “Heather Lillian Herbert (nee MacKay) 20 May 1926 - 02 March 2006” “There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.” Mark 3: 31-35 KJV © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

A loving tribute to your mother. I lost mine when she was only 46 years old. Perhaps I shall post one in her honour tomorrow. |

Thank you all for your kindness, the above poem I composed the day my mother passed away another one I composed is about my mother and her children. I read at her funeral as part of my eulogy to her /pip/Forum94/HTML/003440.html she out lived two or her children and counting a miscarriage before I was born that makes three of the two poems I included in my presentation on my mother - including this one /pip/Forum94/HTML/003441.html a poet who cares |
