How I See Him
I see the little puckered lips
As I held him to my breast
I see the tiny fingers holding mine
As our hearts intertwine
I see the little curly head
With his shovel, playing in the sand
I see the eyes that trusted me
From boyhood to a man
I see a young man stricken down
But one who refused to fall
I see a strength rise from his mind
As he tried to conquer all
I see a father working hard
Overlooking adversity
I see love for his children grow
Finding ways for all necessities
I see a man who loved his family
His dad was his hero for sure
His siblings were all such buddies
What mother could ask for more
I saw him lose his partner in life
It took a toll on him
He was depressed but rose back up
Never let his eyes grow dim
I was sure that he would win
God had other plans, as he so often does
And he now abides with Him
I see those eyes, those trusting eyes
That I could not keep my promise too
Rest in peace my beloved son
My heart bursts with pride and love for you

Elsie….
what a different world is this.
Pain and wounds..
and bliss and love.
I bow to your feelings, for they are noble,
and true, and beautiful.
You are strong but not at all hard.
But completely moved and moving in your heart.
Be my company part of your healing food.
Receive my humble loving embrace.
