The Gates of Heaven
A devastating loss for us,
is no doubt Heaven’s gain.
Now each and every day for us
will never be the same…
When it seemed her time was certain,
in this life she held so dear,
and that time had drawn the curtain
she knew that God was near…
She taught us all her love of life,
as we’re looking back although,
it seems at times the smallest things
can cast the largest shadow.
Though she knew not, the length of life
as she woke each day at dawn.
Her wisdom, love and kindness
grew inside us thereupon.
Tomorrow was a promise,
that she really meant to keep,
but God had bigger plans it seems
as he laid her down to sleep…
