Do me this favor.

Remember me.

Name me.

I know your heart is broken but i promise you this. One day you will know me as your son or daughter.

Cover me with a gentle saint. Choose a name for me that is recognized for sweetness, hope, and peace.

Find your peace, mommy.

And then find me in heaven when we are joined again and you can call me by name . . . Francis.

Do me this favor, I pray.

About the Author

Anne Jeffries

website

A lifelong resident of California, Anne moved to the Bootheel in Southeastern Missouri in 2017. It was there, after years of writing that her style took form. She is the author of "A California Girl Meets the Bootheel", "Walking with John XXIII", numerous poems, and vignettes on observations of life around her. A lifelong Catholic, her writing now takes a distinctive spiritual direction as she, like many, tries to make sense of a very confused world.
