Father's Day Tribute

CELESTIAL  REUNION

written Father's Day

June 16, 2013

It seems just like today

you quietly slipped away

I've cried until there are

no tears left

But when I think of the

fullness and joy of 

your life and how very

happy you must now be

I can smile through my

tears

Awaiting that glorious day,

when we will see each other again

I rejoice knowing that all your

sorrows, trials and hurts

are all behind you and 

thinking just maybe you

have a front row seat
In heaven . . . .

Thomas, your life taught me so much,

So many times you looked at me and

said "I don't deserve you -

you are God's gift to me"

The truth is I felt the same thing
that is . . . I didn't deserve you

I had always heard about the love of Christ

but never truly saw him until I married you....

You showed me everyday in every way

the love of a child of God, I saw the Lord

living, laughing, loving, walking, talking

through your everyday life

. . .God has now given me time

to realize that you never knew

 how very special you were

and....as they say 

"God only calls home the very best"       
and promises to all his children 
a  joyous 

Celestial Reunion

I grieve your physical presence,

 spiritual wisdom and aura,
your gentleness and kindness

 but I do not sorrow

for God has promised us in his word.....

that one day we will know, even 

as we are known . . . .

and  to live is Christ and to

die is gain 

I do believe that one day

there will be a

Celestial Reunion

where we will meet again

and.....

so shall we be forever 

with the Lord.

So until then.......
not good-by

just a simple good-night

until then ~
