January Eighteenth,  Two Thousand Twenty-two
(To Barbara, with love)

January eighteenth, two thousand twenty-two
God looked down from Glory, and he came here after you

He had seen that you were suffering; did not need to any more.
He took all your pain away, and opened heaven's door.

I could not go along with you. He said He hoped I would not mind
He still has some plans for me. That's why He left me here behind.

I don't know what's in store for me, but I will try to do my best
If I follow where he leads me, I know that I will pass the test

I'm know that God will show me, what it is that I should do
I believe He sacrificed His Son. I'll come to Heaven when I'm through.

In Heaven, years are seconds. It won't be long until I'll be
Holding you, within my arms, throughout all eternity.


PS to the reader

I pray for you, if you've been left, by a loved one gone before
Pray that you believe that Jesus has opened Heaven's door.

Through the power and the glory you'll be together once again
God sacrificed is only son, to save believers from their sin.

L Milton Hankins February 26, 2022 at 10:02 AM Franklin, I hope that you will never think God would be so cruel as to take your loved one from you...disease did! In my case, God did not take my Deborah...cancer did. God only received her when cancer had ravished her body, taking her home. She always said it was her greatest journey, and I believe that!
