Heaven needed another Angel

My mom’s spirit and love

Will remain with us in our hearts forever

Mom I know you are watching over us

I take comfort in knowing your

Free of all pain and suffering.

 

Come With Me

The Lord saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be,

So He put his arms around you

And whispered

“Come with me”

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer

And saw you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating

Your beautiful smile at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove

He always takes the best.

It’s lonesome here without you

We miss you so each day.

Our lives just aren’t the same

Ever since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely

And everything goes wrong

We hear you gently whisper,

“Cheer up and cheer on”

Each time we see your picture,

You seem to smile and say,

Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keeping,

We’ll meet again someday.
