It Is Almost Over Now A Mother's Final Work
A reflective verse depicts a mother near death finishing a life’s work. She speaks of stitching life’s thread, the toll of years, and a quiet night sky as she asks her children to remember that she worked here until she died with God's love guiding her way. Her message: cherish the labor and the heaven light in the end.
