Heaven Needed A Mom

So many things of mom I miss

Her gentle hug and tender kiss

I still feel her warm embrace

And yet picture her loving face

A mother’s task is never done

And Heaven must of needed one

For Angels came and took her hand

And led her to God’s promise land

She surely kept busy then

While brushing little angel’s hair

And making sure they’re dressed just right

Not staying out to late at night

Although there’s sadness this I know

She’s waiting there her face aglow

I close my eyes I can see

Her arms still open

Wide for me

We love and miss you mom!
