Welcome | ||||||||||||||||||||
This page Is in memory of my dear mom, Jeanette, and my mother in law Mabel. I loved them both very much and will always miss them. This first poem is a poem the minister read at my moms funeral and it has always been special to me. I can just see her now watching for us to come home. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Watcher She always leaned to watch for us, Anxious if we were late. In the winter by the window, In the summer by the gate. |
||||||||||||||||||||
And though we mocked her tenderly, Who had such foolish care. The long way home would seem more safe, Because she waited there. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Her thoughts were so full of us- She never could forget! And so I think that where she is, She must be watching yet. |
||||||||||||||||||||
Waiting till we come home to her, Anxious if we are late- Watching from Heaven's window, Leaning from Heaven's gate. |

Just a Breath Away Look for me in springtime As raindrops fill the air In the splendor of the rainbow You値l find my presence there. You will find me in the fragrance Of April痴 sweet perfume Drifting through the clover On a sultry day in June. An August day will find me Upon the summer breeze On the distant sound of the thunder In the gently swaying trees. In the golden fields of harvest Is where I can be found. As autumn time approaches And leaves comes tumbling down In the wintertime when days are short And chill is in the air Just look into a moonlit night You値l find me lingering there. When the setting sun has gone away And shadows fill the night When the cloak of darkness lifts its veil I値l be your morning light. So when you feel discouraged Get on your knees and pray You値l feel me there beside you I知 just a breath away. Author/Written By: Marilyn Ferguson ゥ2003 |
