Come Spring

Come spring, there is a lovely picture that I see

I cling to this very hope, my mother waiting for me

It leads me home, I pause and breath a prayer

Thanking God for his great promise she’ll be there

When the roses bloom again and the birds sing

On heaven’s bright shore, oh what joy it will bring

To see her smile and feel her warm embrace

My mama’s been gone to long, I miss her sweet face

With the sunlight shining upon her snow, white hair

Beside her flowers, fragrance drifting in the air

Just to be in her presence will warm all my days

I will cherish each one and give God the praise

To see her well without heartaches and pain

The way I remember her, all else is mundane 

We will walk together down streets of pure gold

So much to say, more than my heart can hold

In a land of silver grasses that sparkle with dew

My mama is waiting patiently for me to come too

She taught me young how to spread each tiny wing

Oh what a joyous reunion, come spring

Tomorrow the 19th would've been my mama's 87th Birthday. She's spending it in heaven again this year. I miss her more each passing day but long to see her smiling face. Happy Birthday Mama, I love you!!

Here's wishing all of you a Happy Easter
