From Her Sons A Message to a Bereaved Mother; Who Lost Two Sons in the Oklahoma Disaster Dear Mommy, I visioned a bright City, so fair Jesus was waiting in the Garden, to welcome Us there We will wait by the Fate, as in the Garden We play So we can beckon to You and show You the way. Jesus loves the Children and We feel safe Here The Angels hover over Us to help ease Our fear There must be some reason, why God took Us above Perhaps He needs Children to help show His love. I will watch over My Brother; so He will not fall He is so afraid and lonely and so very small As We romp in the Garden; in this beautiful Land Since You can't be here, I'll hold His small hand. Cherish and remember, the good life We did share We will feel Your love; as You kneel in prayer Jesus must have needed Us; just why You can't see As Our lives ended, He said, "Dear Ones come unto Me." We will miss You and remember; with a tear in Our eye As You in your sorrow; for Our passing will cry Until You can again hug Us; We will be in God's care Some Day; You will meet Us in Heaven; there's no parting There.

Will Anyone Remember When I am gone, I hope to be Remembered for My Poetry I am not a Longfellow, Poe or Guest But I literally try to do My best. I write of happiness, joy and love Remembering Our Father, up above In My simple language, I express My heartfelt thoughts of Those I bless. The wonders of the World, I feel As by My bed at night I kneel I am privileged to be a Friend, Mother and Wife Who has had so many blessings all My life. My favorite "Joyce Kilmer" wrote of the trees Of the butterflies; the Birds and the Bees The many miracles of life are there All within God's Realm, for Us to share. So, as just a simple Poet, I do try To brighten some Life as I pass by In My Sunset of Life; I hope and I pray I have spread some cheer, along Life's way.
