Entry 7 Posted on Mother's Day on MRD

Flowers for Mother

I walked through the fields green
Where everything looked so serene
To pick up a bunch of Lady's Lace
Delicate and wild on the Earth's face.

Blue bells bobbed and Snapdragons too
To colour lavishly with their hue
Violets and Forget-me-nots
Sprayed by nature quite a lot.

Jasmines, mogras and lilies pure
White as pearls and so demure
Buttercup and the daffodil
Brightness in my heart does fill

You held me close and dispelled my fears
All these flowers are for you, my dear
I remember how you showered me with Love
That was silent and gentle like a sweet dove

Dewdrops on petals do recall
Like my teardrops that slowly fall
You were my truest and best friend
So why did it all have to come to an end?

I'm sure when we'll meet once more
We'll laugh and talk like we did before
Now as I see these flowers so true
I see in them little images of you

Entry 8 Thanks Sammy

In Heaven............

He painstakingly created the tree to thrive in the glade,
Not just to bear fruits and buds but also to give shade.
Happy He was at his own skill - admiring what he'd made,
His favourite angel didn't quite agree and said so unafraid.

"What", He cried, "show me now what creation you talk about
There just can't be one like the tree, of that I have no doubt."
The angel went through the clouds feeling a bit distraught
Espied the creature on the earth and to His notice brought.

"It's the mother with her child, like your tree in the glade
Bears pain and hardships and also gives her protective shade.
When its roots find no water, Your tree will wilt and dry
The mother will wilt if her child should even merely cry.

You may need to borrow much of her very soothing shade
To make Heaven more heavenly and greener the glade."
God himself was wondrous at His little angel divine '
The mother was indeed the best, a creature so benign
