Her Seventy Fourth Birthday

Her Seventy Fourth Birthday

It would have been her seventy fourth birthday,
This day February 24, 2008.
But it was not to be.
Just days ago she went to rest at Jesus feet.
She is no longer sad ,
suffering in pain,
No longer concerned with things of earth
Nor temptations , satans snare.
For family and friends we feel her passing as a loss,
Someone we will miss.
Some may feel there was more to do,
Things to say,
Visits to be had.
Babies unborn she will not know,
Not on earth.
She meets instead in heaven with those that once left her,
To join again anew,
Reuniting,
Things to say,
Visits to be had.
Free of illness, pain and grief,
Worries and stress of an earthly life left behind,
For on that day February 20, 2008,
She was freed in death on earth and,
Born again in heaven.


I’ll miss you mom,
What was,
What I dreamed of.
No matter now the moments
Spent unkind….
No matter now the words
Left unsaid….
I loved you even when it didn’t seem so.
I know you loved me too.
I am alright,
Still growing up…
With much to learn….
One day in God’s own time,
Again we will meet,
You will greet me,
Peaceful reunion,
My Mom.
