Through the years you played and prayed together,
taking little notes of love so true.
Yet today she left without a word,
leaving me unknowing of what to do.
If you could hear her whispers,
they would console you this day.
She would say honey I was called home,
I am in heaven this day.
Let not the tears weigh you down,
for today I am heaven bound.
Where the waters are crystal clear and don't you know,
my time I spent with you were so laced with gold.
Now as I peer down upon you there,
knowing you have become so aware.
Life does go on and baby remember this until the end,
my love for you in time your heart it will mend .
When our time has come none of us have a say,
we are at his mercy every day.
He placed us upon this earth yet we know one day,
our life will end and off to heaven we go to play.
Love so tender and full of grace,
I will forever remember your loving face.
Your arms are about me and I watch from afar ,
as he calls your name from the heavens amongst the stars.
Author notes
When that time comes for a loved one yes it does hurt deeply and we do shed tears of love and also they are tears of joy knowing they are within his grace and love where their is no pain no sorrows or regrets .

we often seem to forget that when a person has left her body, she is still alive in spirit, and even if we can't see her with our physical eyes and perceive her with our gross senses, there are so many signs that show us that she's near ...

Oh honey, this brought so many tears to my eyes this evening! I know you are right, but yet, it just doesn't seem to help much right now.
The grief seems to out weight the knowledge of your words. It is hard to find anything that helps somedays.
Best of luck in this contest!
and love
