Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Dear Sherry and family: I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. She was blessed to have your family able to keep her home on hospice care. I admire all of you for doing that because I am a home care nurse and it is not an easy thing to do. I pray that your Mom rest in peace. I am also praying for all of you and asked the Lord to give you his peace. Love, your friends
