Through Tears

Angels in Heaven

Are looking over you

That, we do know

And we are helping you Mom

The best we can

And though Dad is no longer here

Together we all stand,

We're just a call or a hand away

If you need to talk

Or if it's just to cry

Please don't ever hesitate,

We will be your light

In the darkness

No need to run

No need hide,

You have been there

For us, for many years

The least we can do

Is to be there with you

Through all the tears.

i felt and expressed myself much the same way as this when my father passed away in 2006, my mother was like a rock, but i could see her pain. she passed away just 14 months later almost to the very day as my father, seemingly from a broken heart. it is nice to know that your mother will receiveall the love and support you can give her in this very trying time. be there for her regardless of what she tells you because women have a lot of hidden pride. great write

Sorry for your loss and you are so right about women - we do have a lot of hidden pride. Thank you

[Coyote Poetry]

A sad and beautiful poem. Your words are true. We must support our parent. They assisted us and we need to return the love and comfort. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Your father died on my birthday, Tarry, and I can only respect your preservation of his memory in this form. I hope your mother reads this and senses your grief and dedication to her as easily as I have. A very nice work.

[Tarry Franck]

DrD - thank you so much for your kind words. I will give it to her as soon as I've written it on better paper. She won't see this online unless I put it on facebook. And who knows may be I will put it on her facebook page. What do you think about that?

[DrD]

Good idea. She deserves it and you need it.
