MOTHER’S DAY

Posted byRobert M. HinnenPosted inUncategorized

Dear Mom,

More than a few years have passed since we were all together last

Still I miss you so very much and nothing fills the hole left in my heart

And I do not even want to try, but one cannot live long in the past

Though my memories have grown dearer since we have been apart

Tempering the sorrow and loneliness that would consume my thoughts

And prevent me from experiencing the joy that still defines your life

I cherish your goodness and godliness, traits I have always sought

But when I think of the life you have now, I cannot help but smile

For your love for Christ Jesus gives blessed assurance of your destiny

And that is the legacy I hope to leave for my children and grandchildren

Thank you for all your prayers on my behalf and never giving up on me

I know your love for me is never-ending and I know I will see you again

Love,

Your child

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”

Exodus 20:12 ESV

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
