Mother's Day In Heaven - Poem for Sept 23

Yesterday marked 18 years since my Mom went home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. This poem was written to mark the first Mother's Day since she went home to glory. To hear this poem presented in church, please visit the link below.

Mother's Day In Heaven

It's your first Mother's Day in Heaven -
I'm so thankful that you're not alone;
As you behold the face of our Saviour,
And are blessed to worship at His throne.

Mom, I would love to send you flowers,
Though their fading glory could not compare
To the beautiful sights and sounds of Heaven,
And your very own mansion over there.

I never thought so much about Heaven,
As I have since you've gone home to that place -
Oh Mom, I miss you so very much,
And I long to see your precious face.

You see, this earthly home now seems more empty -
Its glitter and glamour can no more impress;
For Heaven is the place of God's truest riches -
Where our Father only keeps the best!

Since you turned and trusted in the Saviour,
An amazing change has taken place;
Dwelling in the presence of Jesus now,
In Heaven - only because of His grace.

It's your first Mother's Day in Heaven -
With everlasting joy and peace up there.
Oh Mom, I miss you so much now,
But I know our reunion will be beyond compare.

(Dedicated to my Mom - I miss you, and look forward to seeing you again!)

Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Ephesians 6:2-3

We love him, because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19
