In the stillness of the midnight hour veiled in
Glory, my mother, stood next to me. She touched
My face where there are always tears. She
Placed her angelic arms around me to take away my
Fears.
What are these thoughts you have, my child? She
Said to me with a mother’s smile. Embrace my
Love, let it take away your sorrows. We are all
Here for only a short while. Be joyous of each
And every tomorrow.
Seek life, not death; things are never as bad as
They seem to cherish your life…follow your dreams.
I opened my eyes, sat up, looking around; this was
Only a dream. It was one I always held dear, love, from
My own mother was never found.
