When a Mom goes to Heaven

by Mary Ellen Smith

When a mom goes on to Heaven
She leaves behind a prayer
She asks the Lord to comfort
And keep loved ones in His care.
She knows someday she’ll see them
It’s why she could bear to go.
Her love runs ever deeper
Don’t you know?

So when the sun shines on your face
And a breeze blows you a kiss,
It might just be your Mother
Letting you know how much you’re missed.
A gentle sweet reminder
To let you know that you are dear
Her thoughts of you a prayer
That keeps her near.

so touching and heartwrenching, but with a positive tone that inspires. My dad's in heaven, and I can relate that way, and often talk to him still, and it's been many years, too many, since he left. I believe she would be glad to hear this understanding poem.

Mary Ellen-always enjoy your work. This is so true-they never leave us and we will all meet again. Great poem.

A wonderfully warm tribute to mothers.

Hi Mary Ellen, This is so beautiful, touching and heartbreaking too. I'm putting this one on my favorites list. I too, know that feeling. My Mom is too, last year. And my Dad, this year. Yes, indeed a lovely tribute for anyone that has lost their Mom. Thanks for sharing.
