The Journey
By Verna Davies
The sound of a different drummer
called your mother away at last.
To reside in a place free of care and stress,
and where she’s now at rest.
Free of her burdened body now,
she was lifted on wings so soft.
They bore her to her place of rest
and held her safe aloft.
She’s only a breath away from you,
though her form cannot be seen.
She’s everything she ever was,
and what she might have been.
The many burdens gathered through
her long life now have gone.
They’re left behind, she’s free of them.
God took her safely home.
