A Mother's Prayer

Lord, today is Mother's Day, but my heart is split in two.

Half is with the child still here,

The other with the child that is now there with you.

All the lovely presents are a nice surprise,

But the one thing I want most is missing,

And tears fill my eyes.

I know when you sent him, Lord,

You didn't promise how long he would stay.

All you said was to love him and treasure each and every day.

But Lord, it crushed my heart when you called for his return.

I feel like half a Mom, as I ache, weep and yearn.

But Lord, tell him I love him just as much as I did before.

And could you please make a window,

so he can see through heaven's door ?

Let him see that he is missed and thought of with each breath.

And that a Mother's love begins before life, and does not end with death.

So, on this Mother's Day, the Greatest Gift, I give to you.

For Lord, I know you missed him and you loved him, too.

Just yesterday I heard you laugh
and giggle as you ran to the tree.
It was all decked out with your
favorite baubles, tinsel, which were
all at the bottom, you were so small.

Today Christmas just doesn’t feel the
same, there’s a hole where your laugh
filled anything that was missing
from my heart. We’re still a family,
smaller now, it will never be like
it was. Accepting that is so touchy
there’s nothing else that we can do.

Maybe I’ll sleep through the entire
day, that wouldn’t be fair, you never
wanted to see me cry. It’s complicated,
impossible to explain but I’ll do my
best to recollect everything that has
made me smile through the years. It’s
Christmas they let you reminisce on
Christmas. If I recall things right,
summon up the good pieces of the past,
I’ll grin, join the family, make new
traditions, keep the old memories,
move forward, I will see your glow.

Look at the stars shining high above,
never gone from my heart, sweet love.............
never gone from my heart, sweet love.............

Kat you have become a blessing in my life, may this give you some comfort.

Im sorry, i wanted topost a poem and posted it in the candles section,,, it was too long though and only some of it shows. Here is the poem i wanted to send.

What is dying?
A ship sails and i stand
watching till she fades on the horizon
and someone at my side says " she is gone"
Gone where? Gone from my sight
that is all, she is just as large
as when i last saw her.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is within me,
not in her, and just at the moment
when someone at my side says,
" she is gone", there are others
who are waiting for her coming,
and other voices take up a glad shout
"There She Comes".........
and that is dying.

 
If you can delete the candle i sent thats ok by me as it does'nt really look right with only the beginning bit.

you have a wonderful site here.

Katha,

You will be in my thoughts and prayers today. The anniversary dates have a nasty way of sneaking up on us.  Like you, I begin the count down and before July 16th ever arrives, I want it to be over.  Andrew, our son, died two years ago on July 16th, 2005 of head injuries sustained in a car accident. I try not to look beyond two years because that's all I know at this time.  I'm sure the void will be with me until the day that I join him.  I just don't know if I'll ever grow accustomed to his absence.  In reading your words and understanding that it's been six years since God came to take your beautiful daughter Verna, I must admit, I'm not sure that it will ever get "easier."  In retrospect, today is a day of memory for you, of a day that changed your life forever and removed a part of your heart until you meet her again.  I'm sending big hugs, tissues for the tears and prayers for your broken heart and spirit.
