The sun shines down upon us
with rays of warmth and light.
Then when the day has ended,
disappears beyond our sight.
We then are left in darkness,
not because the sun has died,
but because it’s shining brightly
on the world’s other side.
So it is when one we love
comes to their end of days.
They go on to the other side
to shine their loving rays.
That’s why heaven is a place
That glows beyond compare.
The lights of those who’ve left us
are all brightly shining there.
Tears of Joy
Now I lay me down to sleep. Those who loved me mourn and weep. Time on earth has come and gone. Yet in spirit I live on. I awaken and behold Heaven with its streets of gold. Such beauty, peace and love I see. Shed but tears of joy for me.
This poem really touched me today as I looked out my office window and saw the sun peeking down through the clouds with it’s rays touching the earth. I thought of my mom in heaven.
Thank you for your kind comment.
