Folds of my Soul..for my Mother I see how peaceful beauty slumbers She lies quiet, still Somehow she knows its me A small smile Her face is like mine But softer Hair whiter Eyes blue Mine brown She glows My heart aches I hold her In the folds of my soul |

Deb,
This is just beautiful. You know, my mother (God rest her soul) also had blue eyes and mine being brown, I really enjoyed reading those lines. Thank you for reminding me of my own mother. |

This is a beautiful tribute to your mother, one that falls so very softly on my heart this morning - bringing back sweet memories of my own mother.

such wonderful words Deb ... we owe them so much, our mothers
But she ventured into this darkness, this secret place where only she could find him she reached out her hand to let him know that anytime he wanted to come and dance with her She would lead him into the light holding him close to her heart so that he need not fear leaving his lonely refuge in the dark |
