(In
Memoriam)
To Mother
by Velma M. Carlson
I never thought that life could be so empty
That I could feel so much alone;
I didn’t know how sad I’d be
Without you.
Just think of
you, no matter where I
Roam.
I went to Church this morning
Very early.
And sat alone within my favorite
Pew.
It wasn’t long, but you were
There beside me;
I couldn’t see, but still, somehow
I knew.
I knelt, and said a prayer just
As always.
The Cross was shining like
‘twas
Purest gold;
I listened to the sermon and the
Singing
About the sweetest story ever
Told.
And then my heart just seemed
To fill with sadness.
My eyes with tears which I could not
Control.
I realized then that you were gone
Very soul.
I knew I had to weep; my heart was
Breaking.
And as I prayed to God from
Up above –
Please, take care of Mother, while
She’s sleeping;
And may the angels guide the one
We love
A simile is as easy as pie, but a
metaphor is a piece of cake!
