A Mother's Return
By Courtney Frey
I threw my heart to the bottom of an ocean,
And there it hid inside the pain.
It turned black, and down in the dark it stayed.
It’s been a year now, since it’s seen the land,
And I can cry no more.
I heard the mighty waves down under roar;
And watch my heart come now to shore.
Floating gently near my feet,
I realize, tis not my heart I see.
Instead, a shining object, rounded perfectly.
Dismayed and quite uncertain,
Of where my heart might be;
I started out into the waters,
To find the sorrow belonging to me.
Emmersed and filled with fear,
Preparing to go under,
I heard the object call me near,
So I returned, filled with wonder.
Closer now, my spirit heard,
The voice of the object through gentle words;
“Hi Mom … it’s me.”
*****
What starts out as a speck of dirt,
Soon becomes a priceless pearl.
What begins as a mustard seed,
Soon grows into a mighty tree.
So, on this day that I remember you,
It seems to me that this too is true;
The most glorious of treasures,
Come from the unexpected few.
