Do not forget, not yet,

The dead, and the dying,

And the medical heroes who worked

To save those who were trying                               

Facebook Timeline. Jan.5,2017.

 

To take a deep breath and

Fought hard to still survive

The horrors of the pandemic.

They wanted to stay alive.

 

They had to deal with the pain

Of isolation and never knowing

If they would see loved ones again

Or watch deep rivers flowing.

 

Doctors and nurses stood near,

Aware that death hovered over them.

They said prayers for the dying

As tired eyes grew dim.

Many old soldiers left loved ones,                               

As they crossed oceans to fight    

With comrades on distant battlefields.

They, too, saw the dying of the soul’s light. 

 

Wars are fought on many battlefronts. 

Heroes rise and often pay a price

So others can survive. Sometimes,

They make the ultimate sacrifice.

” This poem is written in honor of those who have fought in wars overseas, those fighting to save lives in the COVID-19 Pandemic in the year 2020, and those who have died.”

I go to my garden refuge

When I need a healing salve

To cover the wounds inside me

From old losses that I have.

 

I smell the sweet honeysuckle

That grows on the back yard fence,

And the flowers that bloom in summer

Keep me in a state of suspense.

 

Many colors of Iris stand tall

In the rays of the morning sun.

The birds wake up to sing a tune

And stop when the day is done.

My soul needs its’ quota of beauty                     

To thrive in a world of despair.

It brings me close to the Almighty

Whose gifts can be seen everywhere.

 

God knew I would need reminding

That He is present every day,

So He sent gifts of beauty-

Lovely flowers to grace my way.

Mother’s Day is a special day in which we seek to thank those people in our lives who have nurtured us, accepted us, and protected us in ways others have not. They  hold us close when our hearts are breaking. They give us faith in ourselves and tell us that we are capable of amazing things. They are people who guide us through the difficulties of life and hold us up when our legs can no longer carry us. They are the ones who tell us things we don’t want to face and they encourage us to grow. They accept us with our weaknesses, our mistakes, and sometimes our unfairness towards them for they know we are capable of learning, growing and being a blessing in this world.                                                                   

Sometimes, it is the Mother who gave birth to us, or a grandmother who  steps  in to help. Often, it is a teacher, a pastor, a mentor, a neighbor, or an older friend. It may be other people who enter our lives and give us nurturing, guidance, and acceptance for a time. We find it is important to honor the women in our lives and appreciate what they do for us. God sends these special women into our lives as a gift, a rare gift of love.
