Awaiting Mama's Jubilee Poem by Dr Dolston L Morian

My tears have long been coming
For I felt the reality of my mama's dying
She called sometime and said, "I'll be going"
In my heart there was pain and groaning

The day she died I could not bear to see;
I felt powerless to postpone death's decree.
So off to church I went to pray,
Asking my God to provide her a delay.

I could not believe she would be entombed
Beneath the earth in a casket so soon
I felt the pain of she being gone
It left me to trod the earth as if alone

Her life her love, a blessed thought
My heart is hopeful because of the cross
The memory of her life I can attest
Are written with scarlet ink for a glorious pretext

No one can erase her works and song
A woman who worked and toiled so long
Her tender love and care so sweet
Angels now encouraged me - "Its just a sleep"

Her name is now in the ledgers clear
Christ has already paid the price so fear
So no more would I have to weep
Cause one day soon she will sit at the Masters feet.

The tears and crying will end at last
For the day of sadness will be forever pass.
Then I'll weep no more at former things;
There in God's garden with angels mama will sing.

No more a separation I will ever see
We will live together in the day of mama's jubilee!
