Mother’s Loving Embrace



When life’s challenges

 Become too heavy to bear...

It’s in the cemeteries

 That I come to share...

My loving memories

 Of having you in my life...

For it’s you who takes away

 My fears and strife...


Strolling peacefully 

 Among the silent tombs...

Like resting comfortably 

 In our mothers’ wombs...

Listening to quiet voices 

 Sharing stories of love...

Making one aware

 Of a perfect world above...


Tranquil walks

 Among resting souls...

Sharing memories

 Of lifetime goals...

Comfortably knowing

 That the next chapter begins...

With a warm embrace

 From family and friends...


One should never worry

 When the end finally arrives...

As Our Lord opens up

 His warm and inviting skies...

Knowing that together

 We will once again be...

In our mothers’ loving embrace

 For all the world to see...

Ruthie became a French Quarter fixture from the 1950s through the 1990s and was known for her moodiness, either speaking sweetly to passersby or mightily cursing them. She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
