A prayer to one who lost her mother

I left this post to a close friend who lost her mother this week:

What a delight, Oh Lord,
that you would receive
your servant Margot
into your presence.

What a delight, Oh Lord,
that we would see
a glimpse of your beauty,
from pain to its release,
from angst to its redemption,
from fear to its freedom!

What a delight, Oh Lord,
You have released her
to unfettered joy.
