| A Mothers Gift Noreen Kilgariff, my Mum loved and cherished by her 9 children and numerous grandchildren passsed away at 6am Sunday the 21st August,2000. She was the bravest person I have ever met,with tolerance, understanding and compassion. I miss her so very much, the hole she left within me, echo's daily through my soul. I was with her when she lost conciousness, sitting alone by her bed as we watched the dawn, the last she would see. I described the colours,the light, the beauty of the flowers we could see out that vast window in the early morning light. The silence was errie, as if nature knew this was her last,and unfolded itself in peaceful revernece. As she closed her eyes and the dawn turned to day..... I wrote these words.. |

These are the things I take with me As we lay you to rest Back in the arms of your parents Back in the arms of your man I hope when you look down at me You are proud in what you see And realise all the good I might show Was a gift from you to me No words can show the emptiness That your going has left with me But I know in my heart That it was time for you to receive A life of uncomprimised sacrifice Of caring for all those in need Your steps are too big for me to walk in But their imprint my soul they did feed I know there will be times When in pain I will call out your name Seeking the guidance and love you always gave me All the nurturing that kept me sane But through your teachings, I shall stay strong, Even when the road seems too painful and long And through the strength you gave to me I shall spread you�re the magic of your song Tolerance�compassion and love Empathy and understanding Are the gifts you gave to me So that I may pass them on And keep your spirit alive for eternity Generations ahead will show the mark you left And your words will grow stronger As the life spirit you had Gives birth again and again � by Geni-inaBottle 2000 |
