Evening Prayer – 5 March 2018

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow

A long drive to the airport through dust storms and high winds

A long drive through winter weather in Minnesota

The first trip since Mom’s funeral

Lots of emotions washed over me

We stopped by to see a fresh blanket of snow

Covering her grave like a beautiful quilt

I thought about you a lot this weekend, Mom

The Grief Workshop was a blessing

The first time home without hearing your voice

The first time home without a hug

Yet in the beauty of your resting place

I heard your voice and felt your hug

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted

Even as we walk through the Valley of the Shadows

Lord, hear this prayer we lift to you

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace

A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
