Today

                                          Today.....

  The fragrance of your hair
  lingers in a faded shawl,
  your bible is open wide
  on the table down the hall.

  In quiet wonder they pass by
  to see you resting there,
  in dress of blue cotton
  and silver in your hair.

  You are my inspiration
  the reason why I sing,
  the tears and the laughter
  you are my everything.

  You are resting Mother
  and soon I'll see you there,
  now I will let you go
  for you are in God's care.
