A Friend In Heaven

M y special place
A  nd special day
R  eserved for you
I   n the night I pray
L  ying adrift 
Y  our gated home
N  o place to go
B  eside your throne
U  pon sacred ground
C  hrist scripted stone 
H  allowed be thy name
A  nd a note, you've moved on
N  ot your funny words
A  nd your heart of gold
N  ot the love we shared
A  ccept the vessel, that freed your soul 
F  orever memories
R  eminiscent of the days
I   n younger times 
E  ven our separate ways
N  ever to forget 
D  uring your last days
I   felt the tears upon our face
N  ot saying goodbye
H  oping for another day
E  very word you spoke
A  nother memory paved
V  ery often you would say
E  veryday you fought to stay
N  o other than family could touch you that way!!!
        "A friend in heaven"
     We miss you so much!!!

my heart goes out....for I know what loss is about....with several of them, I have shared a roof....at the same time as one who was in the prime of his youth....younger than me too, at any age any of us could fall....we just have to make sure we are ready when God Makes The Call....she must have been special to inspire such Beautiful words Yolanda....;)
