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 Copyright © 2012 Poems And Reflections LLC.
