Dear Mom

9/25/07 - after spending day in Vegas with my folks for their 49th anniversary - an amazing day. . .


She’s counting the days
It’s apparent in her eyes
Makes me uneasy to know and realize
Memories are what we leave behind

She’s counting the hours
Till I have to say good-bye
Wish that we could wander
To a shore unrecognized

the welcome in her words
causes me to pause and for a moment
I can linger to a place where I’m younger . . .

She loves me no matter what I do
She believes in my journey wandering through
No matter the path I may choose
She loves me

she’s pausing through pictures
remembering the days
when we were younger
wearing a stubbornness & haze

she’s dreaming of daytimes
the silence carries weight
of a history so rich
and the future left in haste

choices we were made to live
though sometimes looking back
there was regret and love defiled

She loves me no matter what I do
She believes in my journey wandering through
No matter the path I may choose
She loves me

I will honor who she is and is in me
By giving this unending love to the ones given to be
all the heavens will align and set us all free
with arms spread wide, my mother says she’s so proud of me

It's been a long time. I discovered your site and blog when I looked you up. It seems you are doing your heart's desire with words and music, touring and sharing your heart.
I never thanked you for the inspiration you were to me and the time you spent giving me a new perspective on worship and friendship. God bless you where ever you are.
