| "You're Safely Home" |
| You've gone Home my dearest Mum, I sense you are happy, and oh so bright. You're in that perfect joy and beauty, Of that ever lasting light. All your pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed. You are now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Can you wander ever calmly, And tread the Valley Of The Shade? And does your Lord's love illuminate, Every dark and fearful glade? Did He come Himself to greet you. When your soul went high above? Did He open His arms and embrace you, And return your unconditional love? I do believe this, but grieve sorely, For I love you dearly still. I miss those arms I leaned on, Though you told me it's God's will. Strong was your faith and love for Him, No doubts...It was your belief. But it has not helped to erase or ease, This loss, this despair, my grief. I know there's work still waiting, So I must not idly stand. I need your strength to continue, While you rest in your Lord's land. But when my labours are finished, Please...Won't you gently call me Home? For I long for the rapture of that meeting, And the joy of seeing you again...when I come. |
| I wrote this for my healing Mum. I pray this helps wipe away my tears. I've languished in self pity, for my loss of you is so great. I've dug deep into my heart, and I cannot find the will to say good-bye to you. I search for peace and focus, as I know this is what you would wish for me. I am trying desperately to regain strength from your memory, and I hope through your convictions, it will not be long in coming.... |
| From my heart... You're devoted daughter, Charlotte |
