In Her Mansion Above........Repost

The day momma died. I held her to my bosom, and then I cried. Silenced by death this mother I love. She’s there in her mansion with our Savior above. She left just a short five months after I had accepted the Lord. Father she deserves peace for this life down here was terribly hard. Her and our pastor baptized me in the sunny month of May. Scared to death of deep water, she climbed into that pool anyway. And when my head came up from the water, I saw that look in her eye. She said I’m ready now for my Savior, I knew she was saying good-bye! All those years that she prayed this was her day. The joy in that beautiful face what else can I say. I love her so much and I miss her even more. As my mind takes me back to that day I found her lying on her kitchen floor. Without the Lord on my side I don’t think I could have bore that sight. Momma I can still feel your arms around me, holding me tight. My wife loved her so their love had tremendously grown. Like a mother loves a daughter their love truly shown. You were more than a mom, and a friend, you were also our pal. The Lord got Himself a mighty good gal. Love you Mom!
