Passings
Safe journey . . . safe passage . . . safe harbor
Words of hope . . . for my mother
Hard decisions . . . hard life . . . hard choices . . .
Anger and disappointment in their voices
Alike in appearance . . .
But different spirits within
Our lives connected and came to this end
I hold no anger against anyone . . .
Mom has journeyed to where life began
I will remember her as my mother and my friend
