It’s that day again- Resurrection Morn
This year I added something new
my Earthly Father
my savior on earth
Eleven years ago we sat at a table in a hospital as he told me
that he had chosen this day for my Mother’s passing
– that he had thought it all out-
and just knew this would be her choice
to go back to her Savior on this day
Mother
never one to let anyone else decide anything for her
chose the next day
The dates of their graduation from these earthly cares matters not to me
for Resurrection Day is the day I shall always remember as their parting the veil
When I gaze upon the beauties of this earth
the lilacs and tulips in the springtime
my thoughts shall always be back
“home”
on Willis Avenue
with my parents lilacs in full bloom.
Safety in the Fall
