Ninety six years you have ran this earthly race,
Now God has taken you home with Him to a much a better place.
Your perfect, eternal life has only just begun,
Selfishly I find myself wishing time could be reversed, somehow redone.
You may not know it but your life has taught me lessons I will carry with me always,
Overcoming obstacles, exceeding expectations.. You never ceased to amaze.
If an ounce of your strength was passed down to me I know I will turn out okay,
I find comfort in knowing you are an Angel now, smiling down on all of us today.
The pearl gates you have entered and you are walking on streets of pure gold,
You get to stand with God and watch the rest of our lives unfold
You are already dearly missed.. That goes without saying,
But the Lord wanted to end your suffering and take you Home.. He answered the prayers we have all been praying.
I never got the chance to say goodbye but that is just fine because I would rather say see you later,
I am patiently awaiting the day we are reunited alongside out Creator.
We are not here mourning death but instead celebrating the life of the woman we know as mother, mammaw, and great grandmaw,
This is not goodbye.. This is see you later and I love you from us all.
