The Ladies With the Flies

The Ladies With The Flies When I get to heaven, before I’m settled in There are some I’ll ask to see Before I even see my kin. I will ask my loving Creator, if I can kindly meet, The mothers with the flies with their children, Eating from bowls held by their feet. For I believe they will be clean and glowing, babies smiling, fat and well; Their tresses crowned, silk dresses flowing Where they into Love and Beauty fell. No tears, no flies, with special high places, for they had their hell on earth, May they receive all of God’s graces. Where we all will have new birth.

Wow! Such a pretty picture! What a sweet soul you are! I look forward to seeing a particular family all together again as they swoon their beautiful daughter they lost at 5 years old! Ear to ear smiles. The last time she understood me, I told her she looked pretty and she smiled. She told everyone about Jesus <3

This powerful poem has images both sad and beautiful. I too believe that all of God's children will be endowed with blessings in the afterlife. Those who endured "hell on earth" will reap their rewards in eternity. Excellent!

Amen, I, too, contemplate such with complete devastation that bruises my soul. So sweet to actually write about the eventual uplifting of soul's who are deprived of basic blessings while on earth. I can only use my faith and believe Our Father knows and holds reasons beyond my comprehension. I felt this ... CayCay
