My Beautiful Mom
The First
- You carried me physically for 9 months getting to know me only by my movements inside and for me, by hearing your voice.
- At last, face to face on that special day, my entry into the bright and cold world.
- I don't recall that day but in knowing you, I'm sure it was a special embrace.
- Though not a memory, a foundation was built, a mother's powerful love.
- A foundation for sure, a deep unconditional love whose roots ran broad.
- Thus, the first life began.
The Second
- A foundation laid and life well on the way.
- A whisper of new life? How could that be?
- Life greater than what I already had?
- A pointing toward something higher.
- A yielding to something greater.
- A conversation with someOne beyond.
- A faith observed, a belief not understood.
- A glimpse of the beauty, distant and fuzzy.
- A challenge occasionally to read about the One.
- A friend I began to know only by observation.
- A friend I carried and talked to occasionally.
- A friend? Could He be more than that? This mind You gave me, it could not see, it could not make sense, the math did not add up.
- A whisper of new life? An observation of someOne beyond....
- A spit out the bones moment!
- Grace, how could it be true?
- Grace, is that what those stories are about? Too good to be true.
- Grace, go back and read it again. How could I have missed it - I read it so many times before.
- Yes, Grace - I see it slipping into the picture.
- Grace, was it just a story or two?
- Nope, I see it there and there too!
- Grace, too good to be true?...
- Broken before you, I saw for the first time with eyes wide open.... GRACE! Scandalous and true.
- Grace, new life began, new eyes did see.
- Grace, a filling replacing the leak.
- Grace, a knowing of someOne higher.
- Grace, a yielding to someOne greater.
- Grace, a conversation with someOne beyond.
- Grace, a faith experienced, a belief understood
- Jesus, a new life to share!
Happy Mothers Day 2016 Mom! I love you...
