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!!!
      RIP Marilyn 8/17/2013
