A Poem for my Mother

Posted on October 20, 2009January 18, 2014 by Lela Jefferson Fagan

I wish… I hadn’t known
It was time to say goodbye
I wish… I hadn’t known
It was time to say goodbye
You let me know, she let me know
Through the sadness in her eyes…
Oh mother dear, you were my friend
And wish I could not cry
But it was sad, it was sad
to say goodbye
My mother was my friend
My shoulder when it was my father’s time to rest
My rock when I couldn’t stand alone
But now I know
That my LORD God
Will comfort me more in the end.

And her memory will be a testimony that I will forever tell.
