Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Friend
within each one of us,
Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Friend
your spirit lives
yet -
this moment, right now,
is a most difficult moment
i ...we, the living must endure -
as we all will endure,
while we find solace here,
within our companion's love;
we all know
we need her still
today,
i ...we ...need to lean on each other's support and love;
reach out
and take the hand of another
this woman,
one we will always remember,
loves
everyone -
seek with your heart
to find in the words of this embrace
the love you feel for
Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Friend;
Carol Morgan Chapman Loudon ...
like the intricate, silken strands
of a summer morning's sweet breath
on a dew-laden web
you have woven a beloved tapestry of life,
cascading about you
at its center
yet
unlike the solitary sentinel
that lies in wait
hoping to ensnare its prey
you have a web that radiates of the continuity of life
even, unto death,
you remain
a rose arrayed in love;
ah, rose,
bending quietly before the dawn of day,
how beautiful you are,
your evanescent petals unfolding into our lives
and now, this new day,
gently returning to ashen earth;
you are love that lasts and lasts
take thee our hand,
each one of us,
in this eterne moment
have warmed for thee -
and abide in us
and every day,
like the sparrows arrayed in all their splendor
amidst the branches and blossoms
within the world you call home,
in our hearts
we sing our embrace
it does not matter
if one has known you but for a while,
we all join in song
of this covenant,
etched in love between God, family, and friends -
this garden nourished within your soul
will always find its roots
in each of us
we can tell you now
and always...
i love you
