You ask why I am crying. So let me tell you why.
I was so very angry as I stared into the sky.

I lost my special mother and tears had filled my eyes.
I looked to God for answers but moisture blurred the skies.

I had only asked for answers - an emotional free ride.
I wanted Him to hold me - and keep me near His side.

I didn�t see the sunshine. Dark clouds hung over me.
I couldn�t feel His presence. I couldn�t begin to see�.

But when I wiped away my tears, my thoughts were held in awe -
It held me captive for some time - for this is what I saw:

So clear and simple in the clouds - I now know why she died....
The sight of Jesus on the cross � in love, His arms held wide.

You ask why I am crying. I�m crying �cuz I�m glad �
I knew that she was everything - and thought was all I had.

Now you have me in tears. I just lost my mother in December. I lost two of the most important people in my life within four months of each other. This poem has answered some questions for me that I can't even express. Except to say, I think you are a brilliant writer. Please give us more!
