In Memory Of A Dear Mother

In memory of a dear mother, my mother, my beautiful mother, I still think about you.  Every day I think about you.  I see you everywhere! I see you in my aunts, my sister and in my nieces, yet still the loss of a mother is evident.  My mourning is over and all that is left is fulfilled memories.  Memories that I will cherish until the day I die.

A lot seemed to happen in April for you.  You were born in April, you have a daughter who was born in April, you died in April and buried in April.  April is a month that will ever stand out in my mind and then there is May, the month in which we celebrate mother's day and child's month as well as two of yours sons were born in that month.  I will ever remember you also in the month of January, as one of your sons was born that month and of course October when one of your daughters was born that month.  Oh yes, and December, when you baked those delicious Christmas cakes and made some delicious sorrel drink as well as the magnificent fellowship on Christmas day.

As for the rest of months, February, March, June, July, August and September you are still remembered.

In memory of a dear mother: From a loving daughter.

My Mother Is Resting!

I still think about my mother! My dear mother who is resting with the Lord, free from all pain and sorrows, leaving us here to fight our way through in this mad and sinful world.  For those who died in the Lord, it is much better for them, I have to admit because they are free from earthly sorrows and woe.  No more bills to pay, no more doctors to visit to spend out their money and the sickness remains the same.  Yes, no more trials and tribulation!


My father died years before my mother, but she stood tall like a giant making sure that her children got a good education so that they were able to stand on their own.  She never abandoned us and spoke as if she regretted having us.  She was a very responsible widow who put her children first.


I thank God that she fought a good fight, she finished her course and therefore a crown of righteousness is laid up for her.  Glory be to God!  Thank you Lord!


I am looking forward to meeting you again mother.  May your soul continue to rest in peace.
