Thank you for joining in the reading of A Mother's Journey
Copyright 1997 by Linda Dillow
The seasons marched on and the mother grew old. She was frail and bent.
But her children were tall and strong, and walked in the way of wisdom.
When the journey was hard, they helped their mother.
When the path was rough, they lifted her.
At last they came to the pinnacle of the highest mountain.
Beyond it they saw shining road and a golden gate flung open.
There stood the brilliant tree of life. The mother said,
"I have reached the end of my journey.
I have been faithful to my children and Faithful to God.
The end is better than the beginning,
for my children can walk alone with the Shepherd."
As she passed through the gates, her Shepherd say,
Well Done.
You gave Me your hopes,
gave Me your dreams;
Though the path of life
was not what it seemed.
You affirmed your children,
were faithful to Me.
You were the Mother
I asked you to be
