Sitting in the emergency room waiting for tests and results
waiting for the words to find me… without finding faults
finding the courage to face what I see
remembering the days that used to be
old, wrinkled, covered in pain
the thoughts of nature and slow falling rain
“I hate Mother Nature…she’s chipping away at my heart”
said mom as she whispered her fear of the dark
fate has a way of teaching us to grow
learn to know what your spirit must sow
falter not…bring haste to fate
so she will not linger in hate
bring her peace…let her heart be calm
let her feel the nature of your song
she will learn at her own pace
grant her peace and grace…
I love you mom…
