I am new to Shelfari. I am married to my college sweetheart and am a former journalist and the homeschooling mother of four girls from toddler to teen. I am currently residing in the American Midwest, but I am still a southern girl at heart. I was raised in the mountains of Tennessee, North Carolina and Virgina, and that will always be home... more »

    This looks like fun, though the last thing I need is people giving me more books to read . . . my stack could reach up to our attic as it is! : )

    I hope your Mother's Day was as blessed as our family's, here's a poetic bouquet . . .

    When Mother Prayed

    Somehow God always seemed so real,
    Somehow I could not doubt nor feel
    That God was ever far away,
    When I could hear my mother pray;
    Somehow when she would kneel in prayer,
    God always seemed to meet her there.

    When she would kneel beside my bed,
    With her dear hands upon my head,
    My little heart would cease to fear,
    And God would seem to come so near;
    Somehow, someway, when Mother prayed,
    I could not, dared not, feel afraid.

    And when she prayed for Him to keep
    Me through the night, and give me sleep
    And rest until the break of day,
    I felt that it must be, someway;
    That round about me was His arm,
    And He could keep me safe from harm.

    When Mother prayed! O precious hour,
    When God would come in mighty power!
    O memory sweet! O hallowed place
    Where God did shine in Mother's face!
    Somehow in prayer she found such rest;
    Somehow her soul God always blest.

    When Mother prayed! Ah, then I knew
    Within my soul that God is true;
    I could no longer doubt His love;
    And, yielding all, born from above,
    My soul was filled with peace divine,
    And Mother's God was thenceforth mine.

    “The First Fruits of Them That Slept”
    (1 Cor. 15:20)

    Past are the anguish and weight of His passion;
    Sealed in a sepulcher, Jesus doth lie,
    Guarded by soldiers in armor, whose fashion
    Only imperial Rome can supply.

    Just from the courts of Jehovah descended,
    Clothed in a raiment as white as the snow,
    Shining in face by lightning attended,
    Speeds there an angel as a dart from a bow.

    Reaching the garden as daylight is springing,
    Backward he rolleth the stone from the grave;
    Up cometh Jesus, in majesty bringing
    Proof reconfirmed of His power to save.

    Shaking with fear, to the ground fall the keepers;
    Quaketh the earth with mysterious thrills.
    Glory to God in the highest! Ye weepers,
    Shout in the chorus that heaven now fills.

    Earth could not bind the true Lord of creation;
    Vanquished is death by the Author of life;
    Quickly arise ye and tell every nation
    Jesus has won in the glorious strife.

    Past are the anguish and weight of His passion;
    Pleasures forever bide Him on high;
    Clothed is the Savior with garments in fashion
    Human resources could never supply.

    (Robert Rothman)

    Yours in our Risen Lord,

    Earl
