Dear Mum

In Heaven

We sit here and ponder how very much

We’d like talk with you today

There are so many things

That we didn’t get to say.

We know how much you cared for us

And how much we cared for you

And each time that we think of you

We know you’ve missed us too.

An angel came and took you by the hand, and said

Your place was ready in Heaven, far above….

And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved

You had so much to live for, you had so much to do….

It still seems impossible that God was taking you,

And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it started anew

You’ll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you,

And though you’ve walked through Heaven’s gate

We are never far apart

For everytime we think of you

You’re right here deep within our hearts.

Philippians 3:20-21

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
