A poem from a grieving Mother

 

Act of farewell

In the pain and fear of giving birth 
I watched you come into this world 
With awe and wonder in my heart 
Then i held you in my arms and cried.

In the pain and fear of impending death 
I watched you go out of this world 
With Shock and disbelief in my heart 
Then i held you in my arms and cried.

In the pain and fear of bereavement
I've searched for you in this world 
With anguish and grief in my heart 
Then i held the memory of you in my arms 
and cried...and cried.

Child of my flesh 
Bone of my bone 
Wherever you go,I will go, 
Wherever you live,I will live. 
As you go into the mistery of life before us 
may you be at Peace. 
That's in God's good time 
we may be together in peace
