Mothers |
A nine-year drought |
Brought torrents in May |
You had chosen what to call me |
But were given a new name |
Always the strong one |
You carried on in faith |
Broken mother, broken father |
It was your example that made Grace fully tangible |
Looking at your mistakes showed me what risks to take |
Working hard to make ends meet |
No matter what, please know you did well by me |
Forever humble and first to forgive |
Treating the other as family |
Never forgetting where you’ve been |
You showed us what it means to wholly live |
Adorned with quiet strength |
You proved that meek doesn’t have to mean weak |
Learned to show Love to all, no matter title or rank |
While not your own, you’ve helped raise me |
And for the things you’ve shown me |
I could hardly offer sufficient thanks |
Even as the sickness lingers in your blood |
You’ve carried on in hope and Love |
And even though trouble surrounds all the while |
You’ve continued to greet all with a heavenly smile |
We watched your body fade |
But until the end, your spirit shown bright |
Something that cancer could never take away |
We laid hands on and prayed |
Oh G-d, how steadfast you stayed |
How I wish I had possessed such faith |
Now we feel the weight of your absence |
And it’s raised some doubt and questions |
But in memorial we’ll press on |
Because, in the end, it’s all you ever wanted for your sons |
That we might realize our dreams |
Live life beautifully |
To truly glean all we can from our youth |
Letting the rest of our lives stand as proof |
There is a point to all of this |
To learn to love as you |
