From Your Grave

A true story...

From your grave you spoke to me

in a most loving dream-

I felt you near

while I slept as a teenager

even wept-

I missed you so but the words you said

while I was safe in my bed

had a lesson to be sure-

You said, 'My dear granddaughter,

do not worry about me, I just have

some things to work out with my father.'

 

Even then I knew not that man's name

as he was dead before I came-

but what you spoke held true

as afterwards I found out

that he had beaten your mother

all her adult life-

I suppose he must have been forgiven

somehow

if you found him there with you-

in heaven.

What a interesting story. Who knows how life or death works, but to say, " I have things to work out with my Father is eerie, but also peaceful. Rain..

Amazing what words come in our quiet moments. The things we need to know are right there, sometimes. This is a thought provoking piece.
