Bury Me In the Morning Poem by Mrs Hall
A poem in sorrowful voice asks a mother to bury the speaker in the morning and grant light on the grave. It speaks of fear in the night, Heaven, and the desire to hold the mother’s hand until the pledge of love is fulfilled. An angel’s face appears as the speaker envisions eternal light beyond death.
