\"\"<\/p>\n

Its dawn, morning is breaking and I see it\u2026<\/h6>\n
A sunbeam rests upon it, laying there in the familiar spot<\/h6>\n
The book\u2026<\/h6>\n
Read from cover to cover, pages worn and written upon<\/h6>\n
Tear stains of memories and prayers, some answered, some still to be\u2026<\/h6>\n
in my mama\u2019s bible\u2026<\/h6>\n
I watched her read it many times; her heart restored, as she kept the words of life<\/h6>\n
This Holy book is\u00a0full of mysteries, stories that live in pages of red, black and<\/h6>\n
white\u2026<\/h6>\n
Morning, noon, and night and even in between…<\/h6>\n
She read God\u2019s word; would quote it, and tell you what it means\u2026<\/h6>\n
Better than a pill you take, and certainly more satisfying;<\/h6>\n
The bread of life is sown upon, the pages, even when dying\u2026<\/h6>\n
Oh beautiful are the feet of those, who spread the gospel message<\/h6>\n
Prophets and saints of old, died to give us passage\u2026<\/h6>\n
Into the texts we read this book, wanting and longing, for just another look<\/h6>\n
Words of wisdom\u00a0scribbled\u00a0on\u00a0edges,\u00a0of my mama\u2019s bible\u2026<\/h6>\n
Nothing dearer, could she have given,<\/h6>\n
Than her old tattered bible, when she went to heaven\u2026<\/h6>\n
A legacy of life is felt, as I watched her, at her bedside, when she knelt<\/h6>\n
Praying and reading her bible\u2026<\/h6>\n
Help me God to do the same, this I pray in Jesus name\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019ll keep reading mama\u2019s bible.<\/h6>\n
