Mother Is Calling Poem by Belle Wassermeister

Mother Is Calling

Rating: 5.0


I hear my mother calling me;
she's just beyond the veil.
I'm still a prisoner in life,
a kind of mortal jail.

The bars are rusting thinner, though;
at least it seems to me.
They'll rust and rust and turn to dust,
and I shall soon be free.

I cannot hurry things along;
let God's own will be done,
and He alone let it be known
when my race has been run.
