Eternal
Spirit
© A. Bougie - 11/12/2006
Six
years stranded
Still falling
I stand when I can
Still trying
To turn out what
I'd planned
Ideas encouraged
Without doubt
She never failed
To believe
The possibilities
She endowed to me
Built of and by her
My body entire
She bequeathed
To me her fire
Luminous jewels
Drops of knowledge
She filled me with
Hope eternal
Composed me of
The best she was
My mother is gone
She's been in ashes
For six years long
Because of her
I am strong
I carry her spirit
on
This is beautiful. I lost my father five years ago and your words resonate deeply with me <3
