My Last Thoughts - Victory In the Dawn

What will cross my thoughts as I finish my race My husband, my children, each grandchild's face With last breaths whispered to heaven above That each my dear loved ones know Christ Jesus' sweet love That they pick up the torch of His love shining bright May it shine on their paths that lead through the night That they know my deep hope in my Savior is sweet Though my earthly life ends, He has made me complete I will think of my loved ones I'll meet at the gate My parents, grandparents, family members will wait And usher me through with sweet hugs, joy and bliss My baby awaits me, his precious life missed..... I'll hug him, and hold him, and he will be kissed!!! These are the thoughts that will usher me on From this earthly threshold to my brand new dawn I can hope that the last word whispered from me My dad's last sweet promise, one word "Victory" These thought's that cross over my heart as I live Make me cherish the moments God's hand freely gives May the moments He's gifted be filled with the love That shines here on earth from the Father above

I know my wife is in Heaven. She deserved it. And though death is to be feared, my wish is to join her. A great spiritual poem.

Oh Victor, my heart goes out to you, that is a deep loss. I'm sure she will be waiting at the gate ready to usher you in when you get there! You are right, death is to be feared, but the beauty and assurance that heaven is a much more wonderful existence gives hope to those of us mourning our deepest losses of those precious loved ones. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate your words.
