Tracks of her soul

Tracks of her soul

A Poem by SmittyJas
"

For the love of My Mother

"
Traces of her soul
Found in this world
after she has left
It was bitter sweet
I had no more a mother to love
To lean on to hug
To talk to about heaven above
Of how the Lord send me an angel to love
Tracks of her soul
Was all that was left
Of my lovely mother
The one I held so close
and I thought of the most
She didn't bat an eye to correct me
When I gone astray in the street kind of ways
I knew WHen I got home there was hell to pay
That was only because she loved me so
and she did not want me out in the world
With a wild side to grow on 
she wanted me happy knowing
That the Lord loves me and this I should know
Because my Mother told me so
And I should believe her because she knows
A world without love is nothing at all
So before she packed it up and went
 
to the world beyond
She had taught me right from wrong 
And that I can trust in the Man Jesus Christ
She said he is the way to get back to me
 
after this life is through
Believe in him as I believe in you
And that was her biggest lesson through and through
I listened as long as she would teach
She sent all the loving prayers I could keep
I know she's with my Savior 
Right now her soul to keep
Tracks of her soul in my heart so neat
