CAROL LEMPEN April 14, 2001 In memory of our Mom/Nana. She always leaned to watch for us, Anxious if we were late, In winter by the window, In summer by the gate. And though we mocked her tenderly, Who had such foolish care, The long way home would seem more safe, Because she waited there. Her thoughts were all so full of us, She never could forget, And so I think that where she is, She must be watching yet. Waiting 'til we come home to her, Anxious if we are late, Watching from Heaven's window, Leaning from Heaven's gate. Think of you daily,Melody, Faheem and family.
