Dad is Coming for Mom
A Poem for the Death of a Mother from Her Family Who is Confident that Their Father Returned to Bring Her to Heaven

Dad is Coming for Mom


He is coming for her
We all know it…we all feel it
Just as the sun can be felt through a window pane
Dad’s presence comes here time and time again  

Day by day he comes
And he lingers by her side
He waits for death to claim her
When heartbeat and breath subside  

He sees her fight the battle
We all know she just can’t win
And tells her to be brave and strong
She’ll soon be with him again  

He gently takes her hand in his
The softest of touches he makes
Dad’s spirit gently caresses her skin
When he touches his sweetheart’s face  

On occasion she can feel him now
How wonderful it seems!
A moment’s rest through this battle stage
Like a sweet and beautiful dream  

And for one brief moment she forgets her pain
And feels much like a young, new bride
She yearns to see her husband’s face again
To never leave his side  

So while we wait through days and hours
‘Til the dreaded goodbye must come
Dad waits with growing excitement
He’s been without her far too long  

Dad understands the sorrow we feel
For we also once mourned him in grief
He stands by our side to lend us support
And hopes we’ll find comfort and peace  

He wants us to know that he is okay
And Mom will soon be too
Death’s separation didn’t diminish their love
Through years of longing…it only grew
    Alt. Verse:  Through deepest longing…it only grew  

And so with each breath as we see our Mom
Lose her grasp on this life she’s known
She’s moving closer and closer to Dad
For he’s come to take her home…  

_

And when that final, sacred moment came
Mom slipped just beyond our grasp
And Dad embraced her with open arms
Welcoming her home at last  

So for all in th’hereafter we don’t understand
Yet someday hope to know
We are certain Mom is safe and well
‘Cause Dad came and carried her home
