Thank you

Joan Zwozdesky

You must go see your mother
Somebody said to me.
Right now I asked? It's harvest,
And we are so busy!

Somebody kept insisting
He would not be denied.
I went and got my suitcase,
And as I packed I cried.

The feeling would not go away.
I knew it had to be.
I just knew I had to go.
There was no stopping me.

She was so thrilled when we walked in,
My family and me,
The very last time I saw her.
She died that week you see.

I am forever thankful
That I listened on that day,
That I didn't ignore Him
When God spoke to me that way.

Joan Zwozdesky lives in Nipawin, Sask.
