Rest Well, Dear One

Lord,
Her gentle snores
are a comforting sound.
I expect they are
the same sounds I heard in her womb.
Tonight my mother rests.

She has had a hard few days
with nausea, vomit, 
bowel obstruction, NG tube insertion twice,
Then surgery, and bowel resection.

Now she sleeps peacefully
in her hospital bed. 
Perhaps this is the first peace she's known
in days, weeks, or longer.

Her small snores
are a peaceful sound. 
Rest well, Dear One.
May God bless you and keep you 
this night and forever more. 
Amen
