On Jan 19th 2012 my mom's twin brother died. Such sadness it brought to the whole family. My mom said on her last visit with him, he was so happy with his new girlfriend.. at the age of 80 years old. I was tickled pink to find out that he was so giddily and flirty with is new girlfriend. After the death of his wife of 55 years, approximately 5 years ago.. he was so lonely, so to find a girlfriend, my Mom said she you could see how happy she made him. Very sad indeed. The poem reads likes this. I did omit a phrase that didn't fit as well I added the fact that he was my Mom's twin brother.
Waiting At Heaven's Door
Death beckoned him with outstretched hand And whispered softly of an unknown land, But he was not afraid to go For though the path he did not know He took death's hand without a fear For God who safely brought him here Had promised He would lead the way Into eternity's bright day.
For none of us need go alone Into the valley that is unknown, But, guided by our Father's hand We journey to the promised land
You know that his love is with you still For he loved you in life and always will. Love like his can never end Because it is the perfect blend Of joy and sorrows, smiles and tears, That just grew stronger with the years. Love like his can never die For he's taken it with him to the sky...
So think of your twin Brother as living above No farther away than your undying love, For now he is happy and free once more And he's waiting for us behind Heaven's door Helen Steiner Rice
Thank you to those of you who took your time to read my comments and poem I greatly appreciate it. I made this for my Mom and gave it to her tonight she was overly touched. Thanks for stopping by. Sherry
