For all that don't know or have not heard the story of the poem that the Lord gave me I thought I would share it with you. On March 14, 2007 "five months before mama passed away" at 2:00a.m. the Lord set me down at my computer and gave me a poem. At the time I didn't know it was about mama; I thought it was for glenn when I passed. So anyway Five months later mama went into the hospital to have open heart surgery for the second time and the morning of her surgery the Dr came into her room and told us that they were going to take her for some test and for us to take her stuff to our car because she wouldn't be coming back to that room after surgery so we didn't give mama any kisses or hugs or anything because they said she would be right back after her test. Well we took her stuff down to the car and went back to the room and waited.... and waited... So I finally went down to the nurses desk and asked whats the deal? and she said "Oh she is in a different room waiting to go to surgery" I asked where and we went there and waited... Again I went to nurses desk and asked "what's going on we want to see our mom before surgery!" she said "i'll check" then came back to us and told us she was already in surgery!! We were so angry! When she came out of surgery there were complications and she never woke up. The last thing I said to my mom was "see you in a few minutes"!!
So now that you know how it all went the day of her surgery I'll post my poem that the Lord blessed me with five months earlier. Hope you enjoy it.
My Loving Family
They say that life is passing fast
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you
I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them a night
I know your heart is hurting
The words we left unsaid
I love you's unspoken
Are spinning in your head
The strength that I have carried
That serve to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul
For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray
An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land
As I look down from Heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart forever broken
With more grief than it can bare
I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease
I'm sorry that I left you
But it was my time to go
The years we shared together
meant more to me than you'll ever know
I'll watch over you from Heaven
Untill the day you arrive
Promise me you'll live for Christ
While you are alive
You needn't be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we'll be together
One bright and glorious day
So my darling family, please don't question
My love ones; please don't cry
I've gone to be with Jesus
I really didn't die.
This picture is of my mom the day she had her surgery. The last day she was ever awake. She will forever be missed.
