Mother and Daughter Reunion

I welcome you, dear daughter,

To our happy home above,

Where resurrection's glory,

Is the story of our love,


I followed your successes,

And I spoke of you with pride,

To know my darling daughter,

Has a fire deep inside,


I know that separation,

Is an often lonely state,

But death is just a parting,

With a momentary wait,


I hope you like our family,

Because our love is real,

The feelings of eternity,

Are like a spinning wheel,


I know your heart is newly born,

And gentle is your mind,

The feelings of a recent past,

Are often intertwined,


But daughter dear I love you,

For the future that will be,

The glory of redemption,

Is the time you spend with me.
