Take me away from all the things that worry me
Show me the calm cool waters
And shine the sun upon me.
Let me feel the freedom of the river
Show me how to become strong where I am weak
Like the white water jumping over the rocks.
Teach me how to deal with all that ails me
Give me the strength to hold on
Because I am not ready to leave this world yet
Just take me back where I belong.





I wrote this poem in November, just after burying my mother who died of emphysema the day before Thanksgiving. These are similar words that she said to me before I flew home to MASS. (she was in CALIF.)
I LOVE YOU MOM
