My Mother's Poems [View all]
As I get older, I didn't want my kides to have go through boxes that have been in the attic after I am gone. After I brought them down and started going through them I was in shock. My Mother had written hundreds of poems. Here is the first one I read.
I rubbed shoulders with a man today
Who had no sight to see him on his way.
But, oh, the things he sees that I don't see
Will make a better man of me.
I hope.
I rubbed shoulders with a sail boy
Who in the battle lost the will to live.
He cannot walk again but
He has so much more of love to give.
I know.
I rubbed shoulders with a child today.
A child whose days a numbered few.
Had I but the powerI would give him ageless years
wish.
The shoulder that we rub today
Will never pass this way again.
Smiles kind words, a little pat
To ease the aches and pains of time we remembered.
Thank you, Lord.
