Sarah Dreams

There is nothing that I can say to express to you how special this day is.

Your face says it all.

For Mother

Often I wonder how could it be,

That someone could love me

So unconditionally.

The eyes that greeted me

On the day I was born,

Were the windows to a soul

sent from the Lord.

With a heart that would

Love me, from my head to

My feet.

And hands that would slave

so her children could eat.

Strong arms that would protect us,

when we were feeling weak.

Gentle lips that would kiss us

at night on the cheek.

Nothing can replace the

Beauty you bring….

And your spirit inside will

Forever sing.

A Lesson of Life

She took me by the hand and pointed me

towards the paths, both of them seeming

lightless and gloomy.

She supported me virtually forever it felt.

For as long as she could handle…………

“The coarse that you take is up to you, Sarah.”

“Mom, you have taught me the way. No matter

what path I take it will be the lessons I have received

from you, righteous or unfavorable, that will assist me to make

it through the sea of living, the ups and downs, birth and demise.”
