Evening Prayer – 22 November 2020

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
As I reflect on this anniversary
Mom waited until I returned from Colorado
I told her I loved her just after midnight on the 22nd
Then the call came from Denise to come to Mom’s bedside
By the time I got there, her last breath had been taken
Three years later and we still mourn
Yet we are also thankful for the gift of her life
We love you, Mom
Now as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
