When I was a boy, I would always hear scary things in the news and my mother would say to me, "Always look for the helpers. Everywhere you look you will always find people helping." - Fred Rogers


You were there.
You were there when I wasn't.
The view of my memory might be obscure.
Oh, how I wish that all the putrid were pure.

Elizabeth.
What's the view like from up in heaven?
How was your meeting with God?

Elizabeth.
Have you forgotten all about me?
Cause I just can't do the same for you.

Observe, if you would
A little boy.
One who just couldn't believe.
One who could not take the news that he heard.
It must have just been a mistake.
Because what have I done?
To be alone?
Like a drifter in the desert.
What have I done?
To you, God?
Why'd you take
A piece of your grace
Why must you take her away?

Elizabeth
Can you hear me up there in those clouds?
Elizabeth
Cause I can't make out what your saying down here.

Elizabeth
Won't you join me and sing like we did when I was young?
Elizabeth
or will my tears just flow again when they have all been sung?

Rest In Peace to my Mother, whom I hope can hear me all the way up in heaven.

Look closely at the present you are constructing. It should look like the future you are dreaming. - Alice Walker.
What you wear is your billboard. So, what are you advertising?

I really liked it.  I dont know what its like to have your mom die, but I did lose a loved one and it felt like the world was caving in on me.  I couldnt stop crying and I was practically heaving because I felt so much pain inside.  I wanted to scream at the world and tell God to take me with her.  It wasn't fair.  I guess she dug her own grave, but it wasn't fair.  I am also a christian, so the things you said just made sense from my religious standpoint because sometimes I feel like God isn't listening.  But maybe its all for the best.  I also thought it was sad and really sweet.

oh my gosh... This just made me cry. No joke. I am crying, I can't see what I'm typing to well. Oh goodness, this is just so powerfully worded and the meaning is so vivid... Just breaks my heart. But I really like this poem.
