In Hospice Care

Tortured by the looming death,

Beloved, a mother… in hospice care

Difficult for her to understand, she breathed

A prayer, silently begging the Creator to give her

Another day, another smile, another mile

With the soul who she’d always known

As mom – her friend, her protector and

Deep down, the blessing that had been more

Than just a mom…

She’d been a piece of her own heart,

A part of her dream – a miracle of love,

A sigh from God above reminding her

That there is love beyond her understanding,

Love that is forever – love that is always

With her, preparing and guiding – silencing

The doubts and fears, wiping away the darkness,

The tears – with a beautiful beyond compare,

A wonderful that abides, even in the air

When there is a heart who loves beyond measure

A heart she’ll forever treasure, a heart who knows

She is only one soul, but she is worthy of this love

That only God could have sown in her soul,

A love, a compassion – that is part of His everlasting

Tortured by the looming death,

The gentlest person she’s ever met,

The part of her heart that she longs to keep

With her, forever with her… still, she knows

She must let go so this woman she loves

Can move to her home in the sky,

Where she will never die… eternal life

Where her soul will live on, never really gone

Because to HIM, she belongs, like a song

Sung to the heart who believes, in time

There will be a reunion that is beyond beautiful

It will be a gathering of hope, faith and love

A meeting of souls who were sent here to find

The meaning of life is written in the skies

It abides inside where only the silence shows

The wonder of forever… praying for the grace

To abide in God’s presence, loved more than the stars,

More than the sun… with a love that can’t be outdone

This is a love that comes from God’s only SON!
