Poem Title:
Poem
It all happened rather sudden, having to say goodbye. My children standing all around as tears filled there eyes. Then I heard a voice say son its time to come home. But God I asked, how can I leave them here all alone? Come he said there's something I want you to see. Next thing I knew I left my failing body. He took me to the waiting room oh what I beheld standing there before me was so many all around! He spread his arms oh so wide and said son can you not see all these here before you, they are family. As my eyes filled up with tears I said Yes I understand. Come my child its time to go then he took me by the hand. God, I asked how will I know my kids will be alright once I leave this world and step into the light? with a chuckle in his voice oh so very dear come my son there's something I want you to hear. He brought me back to the place that all my children were Now close your eyes and listen tight as your family sing you toward the light. With each song that you sang it lifted me oh so very high and before I even knew it I started toward the sky. What seemed to you me fading away was actually me going home this very day! As I got to Heavens door there they were your mom, grandmom and grandpop just like they said they would. They kissed and hugged me very tight then said everything's gonna be alright. We've been waiting oh so long we're glad you finally made it home! Then they said there's someone, I know you long to see. Then grandpop said come on and follow me. Standing there before me on this very day was the one and only man who took my sins away!! I fell down upon my knees his shining face I've longed to see! Then Jesus said arise my child come and walk with me awhile. He took me down the streets of gold trust me Heavens beauty to behold! He took me to a mansion oh so grand and true. With my very hands I've prepared this just for you! We talked and tarried awhile you see then Jesus smiled and looked at me. I know what's on your mind this day there not really all that far away! Lord, I'm worried about my children, they could never get along. Jesus smiled and said behold your children in your earthly home. A curtain opened oh so wide when I looked I began to cry! There you were in my house that very special night no arguing, no complaining, nope, not even a fight! Jesus said you see your children are going to be just fine because of the love you have left behind. Life isn't perfect, ups and downs you'll see Its like a winding road full of uncertainty. All along this road you'll find laughter, joy, sadness, pain and yes even loss but standing here before me child can you not see its worth the cost? Then he said its time my child to wipe your tears away. No more worry, no more pain, no more death beyond this day! He wiped away my one last tear, then pulled me close and held me near. Now one last message to my family and friends I will always love you and that will never end but please don't mourn me too very long I'm not really gone, just finally home!!
