Heaven

This year you are not here  

So many memories we hold of you so dear 

There was not any cure 

We didn't know that your death would be very near  


Our hearts are sad and there is an emptiness here 

Though where you are is pure 

There is no longer any pain, sadness or fear 

He's wiped your every tear 


You soar with angels and the Lord's voice you can hear 

 You are in His presence and all you feel is cheer 

You got to see Jesus on His birthday this year 

We think on these and send our love to heaven dear

Congrats! Thanks for sharing this. By God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy of Christmas toward a prosperous New Year along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

Liz, your poem left me in tears every time I read it, and even now my tears are falling, as the very recent loss of my beautiful sister was exactly what I read in this poem. To think of her dancing with Jesus? Oh my goodness, what a precious Christmas vision of Heaven. Your poem is like a heavenly gift of balm upon my heart as I envisioned my sister in heaven's pure joy. Your poem brought a glimpse of heavenly peace to my heart <3 Congratulations on your first-place win! Happy New Year!
