This poem is dedicated to my mother, Gale Evans. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!!!
When life is dark and there’s no sign of day
I feel for God in hopes He’ll light my way
It’s difficult to see how far I’ve trod
But in you I always see the light of God
When happy thoughts and memories flood my heart
I think about the things you did impart
You sacrificed so I could have a chance
To make my mark and boldly take my stance
Your love has been a rock that’s tried and true
As for holding things together, you’re the glue
I’d never be the man I am today
If not but for your love and God’s great grace
I often think about the times I’ve failed
The moments where it seemed my hopes had sailed
I suddenly saw before I lost all faith
In you God placed Himself upon display
Mother, you are my gift from God alone
More valuable than any precious stone
Whenever I can’t see what’s pure or true
I’ll always have a piece of God in you
