Her love of son was ne'er in doubt,
Nor gloom, nor pity filled her heart,
With final breath… his candle out,
Then mother and son too soon did part.

And though her pain within, shall dwell,
No loss was e'er as harsh her grief -
Than when her son to death befell,
His life alas… was all too brief.

Their bond of love no death shall steal,
Nor joy, nor hope, nor memory fade,
His touch no longer shall she feel,
Since low'd to earth his body laid.

But the righteous live in eternal peace,
Nor death, nor hatred, will not taint,
His loving ways shall never cease,
For God made him… an immortal Saint.
          

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Too emotional for the words I want to say.
Bravo.
