Comforting Words

Mom won't see the season's change,
I said to my husband Ken
she so loved to  watch the colours of fall and when the
                     snow would begin.
My husband held me tightly and said "she still sees them     
                     hon'
don't worry about your Mother...God wouldn't let her
                  miss ---a single one.
She's seeing the brilliant colours, the maple turning from
                  green to red
She'll see the snowflakes gently fall...think ....on what I've
                       said.
I gazed up at the autumn sky and flock of birds flew
                      high above
I thought about what he had said..... with a voice so full
                     of love.
I dried my tearstained face knowing he was right
God wouldn't let my Mother....miss such a beautiful
                     sight.
Somewhere in God's Heaven, the seasons come and
                     go
and to think that Mothers sees too....is comforting to   
                    know.
So when the first of the snowflakes fall and the season
                    changes a'gin
I'll think about the words he said...she sees...each
                    season begin.
