Sons Faith, Mothers Pride And Joy

She stood looking down into the empty Ground where her son would find his resting place. Recalling her pride and joy, as he grew up From a baby boy. How he dreamt of things to come As he played out in the sun How he would walk with his head held high And how she stood by his side. He would always talk of how he was destined to help others And how his life would change For every step had been pre-arranged. He talked of things to come And how it would be done. He would say: there are many of us Destined for greatness but in different kinds of ways. We just have to thank GOD and get down on our knees and pray. Many times I would ask: son! Why do you talk so! And he would reply: many things we do not know. But everything will be revealed in its Proper time and place, and we will be blessed By the LORDS holy grace. The changes will not be world wide, and will Be done a little at a time. The same as GOD made everything in six days And on the seventh he rested So will our faith be tested. You had always said that there are three things In life. HOPE, FAITH, AND LOVE. And one cannot exist without the other two This was taught to me by you. You had shown me the power and strength In HOPE, FAITH, AND LOVE By your belief in GOD above. You have made me who I am today And I thank GOD every day. Some may see the glass as half full And some may see it as half empty I see it as a life of plenty. You was put here as my mother to teach. And I was put here as your son to learn. And in my mind your lessons did burn. And when it’s time for me to go In your heart you will know That I was destined to roam these skies And to touch the heart of man In every way that I can. She recalled the words that he had said to her. Mother! Why do you worry so? You have instilled in me FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE In my heart- and in CHRIST I’ve become a big part. As they brought the casket to his final resting place Everyone stood in amazement and awe To what they had just saw. she pulled back her shoulders and with A smile on her face, she nodded to the priest To give the last rites. She stood with pride as they lowered the casket Into the ground. She stood with pride without making a sound. She knew he was where he was destined to be As the beautiful spirit flying free. Everyone felt a chill, and they all looked around. For they all knew “ he was heaven bound”.
