Mother's Day 05/13/12 A Mother's Promise Dedicated to Esther Uhler & Mary Frank




A Mother’s Promise
By Ellen M. McCauley

She promised she would never leave
You asked how that could be
She put her arms around you tight
Said listen close to me.

You’ll hear my laugh at happy times
When everything is bright.
I’ll be there too when times are tough
And hope’s as black as night.

I’ll come to mind through little things
The smell of just baked treats
 Homemade sauce, hot casseroles
The feel of fresh washed sheets.

When you have to choose from right or wrong
You’ll think what I would do.
Then pray to God like you were taught
And the answer will break through.

Sometimes an old familiar song
Will give you a good chill
And I’ll be the breeze upon your brow
When you are old and ill.
.
Nothing can separate you from my love
It will always be us two.
Not time, not death, not anything
For I’ll live inside of you.
