JUST A THOUGHT

Sometimes...
In quiet evenings
After my children were grown and gone,
I would visit their rooms...
And hold a small brown bear...or a lock of hair.

Oh Father God, do You cherish me as I do them?
Do you stand in the Eternities
And hold something of me.....
Awaiting my safe return.

I am forever your child.

Light a candle for me, Father.
I am homeward bound.
