A Daughter's Love
by Barbara Lynn Terry

I came home only to find

a whirling in my mind

as mother stood there

and asked where

had I been.

She knew where I had been

but she didn't like it then'

and doesn't like it now

but wait! I wrinkled my brow

mother isn't here any more.

She passsed away on groundhog day.

In much pain she went away

but did she go to heaven,

or the other place

or is she stuck in between?

If she is stuck in between

does that mean she still has

a chance to redeem her soul

for the mean things she did

and the lies she told about me?

I certainly hope that the Lord

will redeem her soul because

my love for my mother is deep

in my heart and it will never die.

Deliver her from evil Lord. Please?
