Sister never say goodnight,
For she walks swiftly in the light.
So straight and tall absent of pain,
At Heaven's gate she leaves her cane.
Not important is her style,
Her great new asset is her smile.
Her eyes are wide and without fear,
All passed loved ones meet her here.
Safe now in His mother's arms,
A breath away from hate and harm.
The tears are gone from what once passed.
Our Mother is at peace at last.
Just close your eyes, or have a dream.
Communicate on a sunbeam,
We'll never have to be alone.
Our Mother waits with God at home.

Poetry: Death of a loved one
by Judi B
Heaven Has My Hero Now
Heaven has my hero now,
My life with you is gone.
It's changed in oh, so many ways
But yet continues
"Never"
(In Loving Memory
For my Tattooed Queen)
Taken away before your time,
The debt paid before the crime,
Left but never
The Long Wait
The leaves fell down
Upon the autumn grass;
Frailty in every shade of red...
I sat by the window for a closer
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
Neither sunrise nor sunset that I don't hear your voice
Or miss your laugh
And
Lights shine off in the distance
Nothing but blackness appears
There is resistance
Death whispers in my ear
He talks of a life
