Mom and Jesus Are In Paradise

Mom and Jesus are together in Heaven and they're in paradise.
She's much happier than she was on Earth and that's precise.
When I learned how sick Mom was, it hurt and annoyed me.
When she died last March, it damn nearly destroyed me.
I loved that woman more than anybody I've ever known.
It's good that Mom is in paradise even though I'm alone.
Jesus loves Mom, I know that is true.
He loves Mom, he loves me and he loves you.
Jesus now holds Mom in his arms and that is nice.
One day in the future, we'll join them in paradise.

[Dedicated to Jesus and to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
