Momma and her kids |
Tomorrow it will be one year since Momma's home-going to Heaven. Can't believe it has been a year already; the emptiness in my life where her physical presence was is still so real and so painful.
Today I was given the words to a song by the singer Enya. It is titled "So I Could Find My Way". I am sharing it with slight changes to the lyrics because it reminds me not only of my own Mother and the way she always put us ahead of herself, but all the mothers I have known and see every day as they nurture their children.
Shared in love,
Cris
"So I Could Find My Way" - modified
A thousand dreams you gave to me
You held me high, you held me high;
And all those years you guided me
So I could find my way.
How long your love had sheltered me
You held me high, you held me high;
A harbour holding back the sea
So I could find my way.
So let me keep my dreams of you
There upon that Heavenly shore;
So let me keep my dreams to you
Each night and ever more.
Yet only time keeps us apart
You held me high, you held me high;
You'll always be in the center of my heart
So I can still find my way.
You held me high, you held me high
So that … I could find my way.
