I went to visit someone's
mother today
Sat and had a conversation
On this first windy autumn day
This place had not  been groomed
in a while
There were some items that were scattered upon it
Arranged in no particular order

So I took the time as I sat to chat
To cut the grass and cleaned
around it's border
Then washed all the dirt away
It looks better now
I felt a smile as
I followed through
I arranged everything in a
particular order
To respect the items
that she had received
During recent visits  
It wasn't just me

Some items were shiny
Others were dull
One item was made of wood
While the others are made
of stone
There was even a purple flower
It had a beauty of its own

I sat here for an hour
I was sitting here alone
Then I decided it
was time to go

I stood up and brushed myself off
From sitting on the ground
Then  I stopped to take
another look around

God's creatures had appeared
I saw a hawk and then the deer
Hoping they are the answer to
why I am here

I asked so many questions
Hoping to hear the answers
in my ear
Time will tell now
If it was meant to be

The questions I have asked
I will have to wait to see
To be patient
not to rush anything

Now I'll end my story here
I will be on my way
It was a heartfelt visit
I will come to see you again
on another day

  I will come to chat with you
When I have more to say
It was meant for me to be here
On this first autumn day
