Precious Angel

A poem I wrote for a family who had lost a loved one.

Precious Angel

I am deeply sorry for your loss
I can't imagine the grief you feel
to lose a loving mother,
I'm sure the pain is all too real.
Although you cannot be with her
you know she's gone on to a better place.
I'm sure she's looking down from heaven
wanting to wipe the tears from your face
and tell you that everything's alright;
that her life has not come to an end
she's just moved on to her new home
and you'll see her again
because she's gone to live with Jesus
to live a life free from pain.
Her suffering now has ended
your loss has been her gain.
By the grace of God, she is healed,
her pain will be no more, and it's time
to release this precious angel
Into the loving arms of the Lord.

May God's peace and comfort be with you!
(In loving memory of Martha Bailey)
