Hopeful For A Distant Return
I remember crawling in the blue room,
 She looked down and smiled at me, no anger
 Was present in her eyes, only pure love.
 An indescribable love that could stay
 Present, because she was one who welcomed
 Anything healthy for our well-being.
 
 She’d be in the kitchen, busy being
 Kind to all those who never gave her room
 To become who God wanted and welcomed.
 I think he helped her to defeat anger.
 Her joy was obviously there to stay.
 Satan would never win, only God’s love. 
 
 Nana Belle, you can’t be described by love
 Or anything else. Would a pure being 
 Be what you’d like to hear, at least to stay
 In what is now becoming a small room?
 It shrinks and shrinks crowding me with anger.
 I miss the way you had always welcomed
 
 Me. Not only you but your house welcomed 
 My friends with simple gestures of your love.
 Sorry for all the times I showed anger.
 Especially because you were being
 Kind and always trying to give me room.
 If I spent more time with you, would you stay?
 
 Alas, God would never let you come stay
 To live on the Earth. You have been welcomed 
 Into heaven. Your house has a gold room 
 Especially made to store acts of love.
 Nothing is more important than being
 Who you are. Love. Never ruled by anger.
 
 Do you think it’s possible to anger
 You by saying that I love how you’d stay 
 With me when I was scared? Or not being
 The person who you had loved and welcomed?
 I only wish that I could show the love 
 That you always taught me in the blue room.
 
 You’ve taught me not to make room for anger.
 I’m so happy you love will always stay
 In my life. Welcomed, and simply being.
