In Her Sleep
in her sleep…she’s gone
beloved aunt, mother, grandma, sister
adored, she’s so much more
she shut her eyes, likely after prayer
found herself at the pearly gates
we’re all numb
thought she’d be on earth
for quite a while
she appeared shipshape
but the angels
of our Lord and Savior
brought her home
Rest in peace, dear Auntie
Tears of mourning…we lost you
Tears of joy…Jesus has you
