Take a pause for just a moment,

And look up to the skies

I want to show you heaven,

As seen through joyful eyes

 

The moment I arrived here,

I saw the sweetest sight

All those who’d gone before me,

Surrounded by His light

 

They reached out and embraced me,

And instantly I knew

That I’d fulfilled my purpose,

And one day you will too

 

It’s natural you are sad now,

But try to let that go

There’s overwhelming peace here,

And beauty all aglow

 

We have no pain or suffering,

No thought of right or wrong

No one here’s an outsider,

Each one of us belong

 

There is no sense of judgement,

His light reveals our soul

Each one unique and perfect,

We make each other whole

 

So when you really miss me,

Just cast your eyes above

Remember, I am home now,

And sending you my love

    Such a beautiful lady. I would take mom to see her when I came home for so many years. Her smile and kindness was infectious. Dell, please give mom a hug for me. I am sure you two are having a yarn and having a cup of tea. Rest in peace. Another Angel for sure watching over all of us. 💕. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0n67dSG35L4
