Mom's Poem

Author: Spring

A light from the heavens above
shines brightly into her face
this eighty-four year old lady
lines etched deeply into her brow
but still so full of grace.

What is this light that shines so bright
as darkness surrounds her
life slowly ebbing away
will my Lord take her
or will she be here for another day.

Life has left this lady of grace
but in my minds eye I still see
the light shinning so brightly
more intensely into her face
look again my Lord said to me.

There in my minds eye
was my Lord kneeling in prayer
the light from heaven
shinning brightly into his face
as he said to me.

Because of this ladies grace
I've chosen to intercede
have no fear for this lady
for now she abides with me.
