(on your wedding anniversary)
Heaven Some Day, Heaven Soon
In the darkness of this day, your smile made life better,
A gentle touch upon an arm, a nudge you were here.
Heaven here, heaven now
Heaven some day, heaven soon
A smile so warm it lit the room, keeping the shadows at bay,
A servant’s heart for your family, a picture of Christ so near.
Heaven here, heaven now
Heaven some day, heaven soon
A void now feels the space that you once did occupy,
A void no one else can fill, only you sweet dear.
Heaven here, heaven now,
Heaven some day, heaven soon
But some day soon and not so far away,
we’ll see you once again,
He’ll draw us in, hug us close, and wipe away the tears.
Heaven here, heaven now,
Heaven some day, heaven soon.
~For my mother-in-love, Lois Frantz May 16, 2016 with love
