Pamela Rose 11/2/53 - 9/23/02
Mother Waits

I know she waits with tender smile
Her hands no need to wring

As we in tears the moments while
Before your soul takes wing

I know her arms prepare to hold
Her earthly daughter once again

As we stand by in grief behold
Your fight for living wane

I know that were she mortal
She’d offer reassuring word

As we pray to keep the portal
‘tween your life and ours secured

I know she wishes pain to ease
Would tell us grief, in time abates

It gives a sense of inner peace
For us to know she waits
