POEM  #19

MOVING IN

Dear Family and Friends,

I want you to know that I have moved.

 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM God,

the chief architecture, who informed

me that I could move in immediately.  

You know that I have been sending

my timber and only the chief carpenter

Jesus Christ could do.  Some were

a little broad, or not long enough.

 Well, my new home is finished

and it is such a beautiful sight to

behold!  It is located in an exclusive

estate area and it sits behind

beautiful pearly gates just off a

serene celestial shore.  Of course

the streets are paved with gold and

every day is Sunday here, I have

 been told. I've lived many places

before my new home was prepared

and none of the others compare.

There is peace, joy, and happiness

here with no pain to bear, no strife

or discontent.  There is only sweet

serenity everywhere and I could go

on and on about my new home,

but I have to get fitted for my wings.

My New Address Is:

(Loved One's Name)

Psalm 119 Jesus Way

God's Town, Heaven 12620

Love You All,

P. S.  I don't have a phone yet,

just call God.  If you don't have

the number, He is listed

in the Holy Book on every page.

POEM # 20

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following the path

God has laid you see.

I took His hand when I heard Him call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day.

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,

then fill it with remembered joys.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.

Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much.

Good friends, good times,

a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.

God wanted me now;

HE SET ME FREE!

POEM # 21

This day will be a celebration

of the short time you were here.

You will always be remembered

with great love and many tears.

But to only feel pain and sorrow

would not be fair to you.

Your life meant so much more to us,

more than words could say.

You were here so briefly,

I wonder if you knew

all the ways you’ve touched

our world and our hearts

and everyone who knew you

since the day God called you home.

Now my child, you’re an angel

with your heavenly Father above,

we see not only what we’ve lost

but our capacity of love.

There will always be a big void

in our life and a hole in our

hearts that will never heal.

Our souls will grieve forever.

Will we forget or stop loving you?

No! Not now, not ever.

As this day is upon us,

oh, how our hearts still hurt.

But even as I mourn your death,

we will always celebrate your birth.

It was the happiest day of our lives.

POEM # 22

I'm writing this from heaven,

where I dwell with God above.

Where there's no more tears or

sadness, there's just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy

because I am out of sight

Remember that I am with you

every morning, noon and night.

And I will stay beside you,

every day, week and year

And when you're sad I'll still be

there to wipe away your tears.

When you think of my life on earth

and all those living years,

Because you’re only human, they

are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry it

does relieve the pain

Remember there wouldn't be

flowers unless we first had rain.

I wish I could tell you of all

that God has planned

But even if I were able to,

you wouldn't understand.

When your going down the street

and you've got me on your mind

I'm walking in your footsteps

and only half a step behind.

And if you feel a gentle breeze

or wind upon your face

Remember it's only me with

a loving and soft embrace.

P. S. God sends His Love
