Notes About The Poem

True events of Grandma’s passing.

Love Expressed At Heavens Door

LOVE EXPRESSED AT HEAVEN’S DOOR

As she died, a single tear rolled down cheek,
A few loved ones gathered around her bed.
Explosion of the sun — heaven did speak.
Her weary bones rest.  To the Lord she’s wed.

A few loved ones gathered around her bed.
Moments before — dramatic lightning storm.
Her weary bones rest.  To the Lord she’s wed.
Now she resides in God’s arms — safe and warm.

Moments before — dramatic lightning storm.
Reflecting in sunshine’s window — a deer.
Now she resides in God’s arms - safe and warm.
In awe, her kin see there’s nothing to fear.

Reflecting in sunshine’s window — a deer.
Explosion of the sun — heaven did speak!
In awe, her kin see there’s nothing to fear.
As she died — a single tear rolled down cheek.
