I sit here and ponder how very much I’d like to talk with you today There are so many things That we didn’t get to say. I know how much you care for me And how much I care for you, And each time that I think of you I know you’ll miss me too. An angel came and took you by the hand, and said Your place was ready in heaven, far above… And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved You had so much to live for, you had so much to do… It still seems impossible that God was taking you. And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew You’ll live for all eternity, just as God promised you. And though you’ve walked through Heaven’s gate We are never far apart For every time I think of you, You’re right here, deep with in my heart. Love, Mom.
