Anew...Thoughts of a Mother

 

Stunned anew

By the staggering wonder

And boundless proportions of love

She could not relinquish them

But for the knowing

That Love intercedes from above

Awed anew

By the tenure of heart-strings

Tender, yet potent and strong

Binding the love

Of mother’s and children

Wherever life leads them along

Buoyed anew

By the breath of a whisper

Brushing the ache in her soul

Love reassures

With gentle reminder

That He is in faithful control

I cannot imagine the 'letting go' as mother's send their sons/daughters to war...just now as my daughter said, 'bye mom, I'm leaving for work now' the breath went out of me in sudden wonder-rush of love.
