Grief

Even though I know she’s with Jesus now
I still want to ask how
I know she’s not suffering, and He came to take her home
She feared leaving this earth alone
She was here with us, and now she’s not
I’m remembering things about her now that I had forgot
I didn’t often think of how much she meant to me because she was always here
The path to see or talk to her was always clear
But now she’s left this place she couldn’t stay
And she seems so far away
I know God healed her from her pain
But there’s a void in my heart, and I don’t feel the same
She had the biggest and most kindest heart
Mine feels ripped apart
Memories with her keep flooding to my mind
She would give the shirt off her back. She was so kind
She had love for kids, family, and people with the purest intentions
The beautiful things about her are so many to mention
Her home isn’t here on this earth anymore, but it was just a stopping place
Before Jesus walked her home and she met Him face to face
I know God doesn’t promise a life here without pain
He doesn’t promise days and seasons without rain
But He sent His son to die for our sins
So we wouldn’t be eternally separated from Him
I can’t see or talk to her now, and that hurts so much
She’s too far away to grab her hand and touch
But because I invited Jesus into my heart and promised to live my life for Him in every way
I will see her again one day
On the day, Jesus comes down to take me to where you are
To the place that right now seems so far
Where there is no pain and everyone is healed completely
Where the angels are singing sweetly
Even though right now I have to wait
I know you’ll be waiting there for me at heaven’s gate
On this day, when it’s time for me to take His hand and walk through
You’ll meet me and say we’ve been expecting you
I’ll see that you didn’t walk your journey in this life alone
Or on the day He took you home
On the days I miss you so much, it hurts more than I can bear
I will remember how much you cared
I will think of the beautiful impression you left on us still here
With memories that are so clear
I’ll hold them close inside my heart
Where you will forever and always be a part
I’ll think of you when the sunlight hits my face
At the change of the seasons, warm embrace
When springtime blooms, all things new
Until the day I make my journey to you, Copyright ©️Jennifer Lyn Fletcher
