Moving forward after the loss of my mother.
Mementos of Faith

I can still hear her voice,
as she chanted--
the song of her soul--
God's Most Great Name,
before she began her workday.

After she died,
I found her pink prayer beads
on the nightstand beside her bed
laying on top of her prayer book.

I still have both
Mom's prayer book
and prayer beads.

I use the prayer beads
in my morning devotions--
when I chant God's Most Great Name--
and read one of her favorite prayers
before I go to sleep.
