Your Mat Carriers
(A poem for Laura)
By Tara L. Ulrich
We carry your mat
Through all your days
Holding on with all
our might
our might
And wiping away our
tears.
tears.
We don’t want to let
go.
go.
We want you to stay
longer.
longer.
It doesn’t seem fair
That you need to go.
You’ve been such a
gracious gift;
gracious gift;
Full of so much joy,
Touching so many
lives;
lives;
More than you’ll ever
known
known
And so, we your mat
carriers,
carriers,
Continually hold onto
your mat
your mat
Until the day when
Jesus asks us
Jesus asks us
To simply lay it at
his feet.
his feet.
For on that day,
We know that you will
be free;
be free;
Free of all that ails
you.
you.
