Who will slow down the gust when it's out of control?

Who will speak to the clouds about sending the rain? Who will shelter me from the storm and soothe my pain? Who will stand in the rain when others hide away? ----One of the most beautiful poem about mother.

A lovely poem on love and funeral has been so touchingly and incisively delineated through question tags. I cite...... Who will speak to the clouds about sending the rain? Who will shelter me from the storm and soothe my pain? It is a great tribute to her whom you were loving much. Thanks for sharing.10

How is thank you so much for inviting me to read this. I know it reminded you of a poem that I had written but this is so much more elaborate and touching. I really loved it and it's a beautiful tribute to the one you love. It speaks so much from your heart and radiates from your soul. This is going to my favorites for sure.

A heart touching tribute in remembrance of a fallen tree- a shelter, a provider, a protector, a purifier! The poem acquires a higher glory when the reader comes to know that it is written in remembrance of your demised mother. Absolutely brilliant!

Beautiful! Absolutely non-stop beautiful. We need to be thankful for these things that give us such simple and immediate pleasures because they certainly leave a hole behind them when they are gone. Fantastic poem, my friend!
