Thankful for Poems written by Mom

     The lines of a poem, like lyrics of a song, become endearing because of the one who wrote those words.  Going through countless photographs and other personal belongings of my parents recently, we came upon the words of a couple of poems my mother shared with her caregivers.  There just seemed to be a longing for Mom to have these words written down and her caregivers became her scribes.
     Today I am thankful for those words, maybe they were the lyrics to a song, or perhaps my Mom truly did come up with them but nonetheless, it's great to be able to share what was on her mind.
     Blessings!

              Poem 1
When evening folds her precious curtains and pins them with a star
Remember darling I'll always love you
No matter where you are.....
              Poem 2
With a smile on my face, a song in my heart and a wave of my hand,
I have wandered into an unknown land where Jesus waits for me there
​and welcomes me home.
