Dear Mom

Dear mom, I see I made the headlines today; they said, "I was killed in action, in a land so far away." "They wrote about the accomplishments of my life, and then it read, another Hero has lost his life." " I looked real good in my uniform, but mom, I have my wings, they were waiting for me, as I walked through Heavens Door." Jesus was waiting, as I entered in, and He told me "I have been forgiven of all my sins." Some of my friends, were already here, and they are free of the pain, and the scars that never healed.. Mom, I know you miss me, and you want me to come home, but, you knew this could happen, and I'm sorry I left you alone. Heaven is so beautiful, it glistens, and shines, and the people here mom, they are happy all the time. So please don't cry, and be real sad, you were the best mom, any boy could ever have. When your time is near, and the angels come to call, you will be flying so high, but don't worry, you will not fall. I have to go, I have things to do, but mom please remember, I always loved you. I see I made the headlines today, they said, I was killed in action in a land so far away. Mom, this place is so beautiful, and I can't wait to see you again.
