Waiting at Heaven’s Door
(Loss Of Mom Grief Poems)
He beckoned her
with outstretched hand –
And whispered softly
of an unknown land.
But she was not
afraid to go –
For though the path
she did not know.
She took his hand
without a fear –
For God who safely
brought her here.
Had promised He
would lead the way –
Into eternity’s
bright day.
For none of us
need go alone –
Into the valley
that is unknown.
But, guided by
our Father’s hand –
We journey to
the promised land.
She was your special
loving Mother –
You shared your lives
with one another.
And you’ll find comfort
for your grief –
In knowing her
he brought sweet relief.
For now she’s free from all
suffering and pain –
And your great loss
became her gain.
You know that her love
is with you still –
For she loved you in life
and always will.
Love like hers
can never end –
Because it is
the perfect blend.
Of joy and sorrows
smiles and tears –
That just grew stronger
with the years.
Love like hers
can never die –
For she’s taken it
with her, to the sky.
So think of Mum
as living above –
No farther away
than your undying love.
For now she is happy
and free once more –
And she’s waiting for you
at Heaven’s door.
