I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold. He said, “Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold.” I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The […]

My Mother seems so far away from me, On that beautiful white shore across the sea. Yet I remember love’s soft glow upon her face, And the feel of her touch and tender embrace. When I am weary from the burdens I’ve borne, And the path is unclear and I feel so forlorn, I remember […]

Thank you Ann and Steve for this precious poem: She is just away, In a land of light and peace, Where warmth and love abound And worldly difficulties cease… She is just away, But her memory remains And the love she left within your heart Will help ease your pain. May her memory live on […]
