Sinfonia Per Momma (Symphony For Mama)

For Stephanie Howell-Williams

You’ve walked a journey so beautiful mama
Given me memories that delight like summer
Though hands of fate to you may seem unjust
Fear not for born of dust we all return to dust

God I pray for her in Your hands sustain
For fairness is strangest as she battles the pain
She’s a soldier in the field with a broken sword
In Your army of victors please bring her aboard

In my tears my memories shall keep you green
To the world you’re a mother but to us a queen
Though vain and dull life will be without you
I smile for you’ll be in peace till we rendezvous

As the world sing sorrow while telling your story
The angels at home are singing praises in glory
You kiss me and whisper you can’t stay any long’
I’ll walk your footprints and your song’ll be my song

Fear not mama for this is a doorway back home
Back the arms of the Father where we all belong
Fear not mama for our true home lies beyond
It is to life we’re lost but through Christ we’re born-

I'm a little weepy at the moment...this made me think of my own mother, who passed in 2000...I would like to offer this piece to her. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Excellent .... didn't expect the Christian message ...

[Leslie Philibert]

Fine poem with a Christian message in the last stanza

[G!o]

Thanks Leslie. Yeah i had to add that last stanza since the pal wanted to assure the mom that where she was going was the real home and they are Christianity rooted family.
