The Old Cemetery
I visited the cemetery
As I so often do
I gazed upon the headstone
And said a prayer or two
I placed a wreath upon the grave
Where my moms body lay
I shed my tears and spoke of love
Then slowly walked away
I don't know why,but I turned back
And I saw an awesome sight
Through the majestic tree above her grave
I saw a radiant light
So struck by it's beauty
And the bending of snow capped boughs
My heart was filled with joy
And my spirit was aroused
It's as if mom was giving me a message
And suddenly I realized
Her home is still within my heart
And no one ever really dies
For a time one must leave this earth
But they are never far away
And they hear our every thought and word
When we go to them and pray
My thoughts began to turn to Christmas's long ago
As I smiled and moved forward
Trudging through the snow
I felt the light move with me
And as I drove away
Mom had sent to me a message
On this snowy day
Upon the radio was playing
As the day turned into night
"MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS'S BE WHITE.
I love you and miss you mom ........ Your Phooey........
