Barbara Jail Visitation
To Earline From Steven Ray Thompson, her son, a poem:If you have someone, must be nice.There is someone who understands, even the live we live.Someone who is slow to take but quick to give.Someone who sticks around when the rough times get thick,Someone whose smile is bright enough to make the projects lit.Someone who loves you despite your faults,Someone who talks the talk and walks the walk.Someone who understands that a thug has feelings too.Someone who loves you for sureand you should remember to never let them go becauseEven when the hearts and days are goneShe will be by your side, still holding on!When all the dusty women disappear,She will still be here.Someone you can come home to from a long day's work,Someone you don't have to show, they know exactly where it hurts.Someone who trusts you in spite of what she's heard,Someone who's mighty as a lion and gentle as a bird.I love you mom, you always told me I would only get one.I miss you so much, you never turned your back on anyone.You always gave, help someone in need, I'm sorry I let you down.I was powerless over my addiction, I could not manage my life,Forgive me! I would never have let you go as you did andIt hurt me so bad.Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,God has you now, I know you are happy.Love,Your son StevenThank you for everything,I will always look up, Mom.
