The Shores of Alone

December first my mother died
I still cannot believe it
from nothing wrong to everything
in periods of minutes

She had been sick just a short time,
I never thought this day would come
And now she's gone and I'm alone
Feelings in horrid shades of numb.

For once and for her final days
I want to write her goodness down
She cared, she loved, and always tried
And with her heart  salvation found.

Goodbye, for now, and see you soon
I pray it be as I believe
That you are happy, safe and warm
where nothing bad can make you grieve.

For Rita, 6/1930-12/2006

Oh Sandra sweetie....  c'mere you....   I am right here, should you need a shoulder...
check your email hon.  

Your time on earth now is done
as you are lifted beyond from above
Father, open up the heavenly gates
into your arms receive this one
now gone from earth, from loves ones here
keep her safe Lord, hold her near...

Hugs sweetie....

I was pleased to see a post from you! It's been quite awhile! However, I am saddened by your news. I understand what you are going through. I lost my Mom suddenly this summer and my Dad followed her to heaven 4 weeks later.
I can sense the strength of your spirit through your moving words. All will be well ~ but it does take some time.

Sending you a loving and healing hug,
EA

Thank you all, and Earth Angel, how sorry I am for what you have endured. I suppose its something that happens to almost everyone. I will be back with more positive words soon.

My own Mother died in March 2006, and my life will never be the same. However 2006 could truly be the year my life has changed in ways it will find a new happiness, one I never knew I never knew.

Thank you for sharing your poem

oh lovie--

"from nothing wrong to everything
in periods of minutes"

*hugging you tight*



I fear the unexpected knock at my door--
I cringe when the phone rings--

I know this moment, and I wish I had known how blessed I was when I did not.

In the arms of the angels--may you find some comfort here...

Much love to you, with prayers.

Sorry to hear about your mum. There are no words that can make it better, but I will be whispering words of comfort anyway. You're not alone.

Sandra, I am so sorry I missed you poem about your mom, and even more sorry for the grief you and the girls must be going through.  I think we all know that quick descend from a great day to a tragic one, and each of us will have hurt as you must have.  I will pray your grieving turns to laughter as you remember her in fondest memories by celebrating her life.  Again, my sincerest sympathy.  Sharon
