As if a Child, May I Come? Virginia Salter so often I felt myself longing for the opportunity of her lap for gentle words of understanding and an ear that listened well so often, as if a child, I wanted for her hug and her shoulder upon which to shed my tears yet I found it most difficult to really seek them when she was finally near and now her ears cannot listen her lap is naught but dust her arms of hugging are spent and gone no more can I seek the comfort she might give no more can I hope for words to help me live her opportunities are done, now, she can no longer Mother me, and I, when I am hurting, can no longer give to her my plea may I, then, not ever again be as a child may I only feign the wisdom of one grown, or does her spirit remain within the inner reaches of my heart will my Sovereign Lord allow her to touch me somehow? © August 5, 2000 |

Thank you VAS. Since I was two, most of my life, I have not know a Mother in the flesh... but somehow I believed, even with child like faith, that she was with me in spirit as so often I cried out to her. I am one who definitely believes, though their bodies are gone, that their spirit still remains at least in the hearts of us who love and so miss our Mothers. God Bless You, Bob <>< |

Oh yes. OUr mothers are gone in bodies but not in spirits. I was lucky enough to have my mother into her old age, but I still miss her and still turn to tell her something at times. She is very near. Joyce |

She lives on in all you do, Virginia. She is never far from you and when you need her, she'll be there in some small way. Trust me. They live through us. Wonderful work. All writing comes |

Such a tender poem. We all must take their place, eventually. My mom's been gone 2 1/2 years and I still miss her guidance. Thanks. Melton |
