Heaven Celebrates My Friend

4 A.M. I received a text
With a heart-wrenching context
God has taken you away
An invitation to his ballet

Uncontrollable tears
Descends from my eyes
I am wishing back the years
Where our friendship resides

Never Will I understand 
Life and death’s expiration stamp
But I take comfort in knowing
Jesus is holding your hand

I vision you dancing and singing with Angels
This part of your departure I can handle
My heart and soul would love you forever
The possibilities of our harmonizing laughter
It’s promising when the day comes that I join you on the throne
In the awesome place that’s now your home

I know you are smiling down from above
In the presence of our Jesus
I too, return that smile
Wide and bright
That makes my mourning worthwhile

How great is it for you?
To have no more pain…No more worries
The only thing that surrounds you now is Gods glory

Heaven Celebrates my Friend!!

Thank you, yes knowing one have salvation puts you in a better place with a loss, because it assures you that you will see that person again in a better environment...Thank you so much for the encouragement it meant a lot.
