Description
"A Mother Prays"
*Her Mother*To My Mother*
Because...
I feel that looking up, in the somewhere above,
The winged spirits whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of *My Grand Mother*
Therefore by that dear name I long called you, 'Gram'
You who are more than mother into and unto me,
And filled my heart of hearts, where missing is you,
And where now Death has installed you both,
And in my deep wish, for the pain there is, I wish
In setting my Mothers' spirits free, for that was she.
My mother...my own mother, who died too early,
Was but the mother of my only self; but you who,
Is my Grand, to the mother one I loved so dearly,
And thus are as dear as the mother I was born from,
And I knew, to thine own mother, be with one another,
By that infinity with which my own Mother who,
Was dearer to my soul than its soul...
Your Grand Mother life of mine to mother of mine,
Her life, was your life, until my life was hers.
Missing you both uncontrollingly, as you are,
Missed from me...the son of My Mother...
To the daughter of Her Mother.
