Mother Falling Asleep (Rev. May Her Dreams Be) Poem by Margaret Alice Second

May Her Dreams Be

Mother falling asleep in her chair while
writing Bible verses in a journal for hours,
face buried in her book, claiming to sleep
well at night but unable stay awake during
the day, falling asleep during meals

May her dreams be sweet, accompanied by
music she made everywhere she went, may
her last hours of repose be filled with
wonderful memories and the fire in her
spirit burn ever brighter with time

May the broken hip heal or remedies be
intimated - may certainty of life everlasting
fill her with joy as the physical body finds
it difficult to support a spark of life, may
she share the wonder of existence

With her loved ones on earth until the last
moment of her consciousness in this
dimension, may she be deliriously happy
when she discovers the myriad universes
that make up the eternal inifinity

Of non-physical life everlasting …

MOTHER FALLING ASLEEP]

Mother falling asleep in her chair, spending
hours writing Bible verses in a journal, face
buried in her book, claiming to sleep well at
night but cannot stay awake during the day,
even falling asleep during meals

May her dreams be sweet, may she hear the
music that accompanied her everywhere she
went, may her last hours of repose be filled
with wonderful memories, may the fire in her
spirit burn ever brighter with time

May the broken hip heal or another remedy
be found - may certainty of life everlasting
fill her with joy as the physical body finds it
difficult to support the spark of life, may she
share the wonder of existence

With her loved ones on earth until the very
last moment of her consciousness in this
dimension, may she be deliriously happy
when she discovers the myriad universes
that make up the eternal inifinity

Of life everlasting in non-physical…
