Poetry
(written 1-22-04)
(For Nancy I. Barra,
Mar. 22, 1929-Nov. 3, 2003)
I was given Grace
To give to another,
Praise Him, for I gave it
To my own Mother.
I saw that You,
She did receive,
For I heard her say,
“Lord, I believe!”
She then set her feet
To take glorious flight.
For in You, she saw,
She was made right.
She became my own
Comforting exhorter,
Always saying, “Trust in Him”,
I can even quote her.
By Your Grace,
You ran her through Your fire.
She learned by Your Truth
It was not in Your ire.
Moved by flames of love,
Through prayer, to Your kind hands,
You provoked her, by Your Spirit
To desire Your Land of lands.
With oncoming age,
Her body grew so weak.
You returned me to her,
To remind her You to seek.
Not knowing these
Were her final days,
I got to see her be so blessed.
For this, I give You praise.
She learned beyond last breath
All You made for her.
Beyond the end she did find
Real life to have forever.
Your plan is right, by Your great Son.
Death has lost its sting.
You cared for my greatest concern.
For that Your praise I sing.

A mother's love is unsurpassable. The love sons feel for their mothers is genuinely strong. I discovered the true love of Christ Jesus and the Father that enlightens through my mother and this poem resonates with my deepest feelings.
