A Place In Heaven God Wanted You To Fill

We prayed for you to be healed If it was God's will But there was a place in Heaven He wanted you to fill Over the years you fought sickness At times you won For you were touched By God's Holy Son Then the sickness returned And filled your body with pain For just a little longer with us You would remain God looked down And saw you now tired and weak The sickness that was with you Left you unable to speak God saw that Your suffering continued to grow He knew your heart And knew you were ready to go So God called your name And as the angels took you to the other side You were greeted by Jesus Waiting there with arms open wide Jesus carried you gently To your beautiful new home You are viewing your treasures Which here have never been known We will all miss you In our hearts you will remain But we would not bring you back To this world filled with pain We loved you then We love you still But there was a place in Heaven God wanted you to fill This poem was included in Whispers of the Heart Christian Poetry book six of the Heart and Soul Christian Poetry Collection by Esselle Davis (pen name I use)
