My son Ink4Blood (Justin) sent this song to me today

"A Mother's Love Is A Blessing"
An Old Irish Folksong

An Irish boy was leaving
Leaving his native home
Crossing the broad Atlantic
Once more he wished to roam
And as he was leaving his mother
While standing on the Quay
He threw his arms around her waist
And this to her did say..

"A mother's love is a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone
Love her as in childhood
When feeble, old, and grey
For you'll never miss a mother's love
'Til she's buried beneath the clay"

And as the years grow onward
I'll settle down in life
And I'll choose a nice young colleen
And take her for my wife
And as the kids grow older
They'll play around my knee
And I'll teach them the very same lesson
That my mother taught to me

"A mother's love is a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone
Love her as in childhood
When feeble, old, and grey
For you'll never miss a mother's love
'Til she's buried beneath the clay"

Where Angels Walk

© Linda S. Van Fleet

I walked today where angels walk;
I sensed their presence all around.
I longed to see beyond the veil
And touch the beauty that surrounds

I walked today where angels walk;
A stranger smiled when I was down.
A kind word spoken to my need;
I look to see; no one's around.

I walked today where angels walk;
I entertain them, unaware
The stranger who just "happens by"
Is sent by God, his love to share.

At last I see beyond the veil
A simple truth so often mocked.
Unrecognised, they're in our midst;
We walk each day
Where Angels Walk.
___________

This was sent to me by my wonderful

AP Sister, Goddess of Illusion
