The poem Mama read at Nanny’s service today

I can see Your light

Your face shines brightly – amazing

Your hand is reaching out

I want to take it

There are so many waiting to see me again

I was sad to leave this world –

Now I am happy to face the next life

Bless my family that stayed behind

And help me rejoice with the ones ahead

They were once part of my life,

And now they forever will be with me –

Never to be separated again.

Is this what we miss on Earth?

While my body weakened, my spirit blossomed

And I prepared to meet You, face to face

I never dreamed You would be so awesome and breathtaking

 

Of course, You know I have dreamt of this moment

You know that it was so beautiful

That I was disappointed to wake in the world

Now, I see that even the dreams could not compare.

Soon I will sit with You

And now I will take Your hand

Lead me home, Lord

I am ready
