Her Beloved Son Steve
yesterday
a cardinal
appeared
at her doorway
in the blur
she could see it
staring back at her
unafraid
it offered her a sense
of peace
as it stood there
in the stillness
of the morning ray
without a word
it said
what she needed most
to hear
it remained unmoved
‘til the message
was clear
in the fullness of her grief
she felt the lift
of wings
