In Loving Memory Of Grace

God Sent An Angel

God sent an angel to earth that morning to lead your Grace home,
What happened when he came to her, I’ve written in this poem.
Be not afraid, he said to Grace, your time on earth is done,
I’m taking you to Heaven now, to God and Christ his son.

You’ve labored long and suffered too,
That’s why at last God sent for you.
You’ve earned a place in Heaven, by the things you did on earth,
Your love, good deeds, and faith in God more than show your worth.

Then he placed his hand on Grace’s brow,
And he said “Grace come with me now”.
Grace looked at him with a tear in her eye,
It was at that very moment, she was ready to die.

Grace smiled for a moment, that old familiar smile,
Yes Grace was at peace, first time in a while.
The Angel spoke softly to her once again,
He told her that God had removed all her pain.

Don’t fret for those you’re leaving behind,
They’ll soon come to Heaven too.
Remember Jesus Christ Promised:
I’m preparing a place for you.

Then her breathing grew shallow; her pulse became slow,
Grace said in a whisper, “I’m ready to go”.
Yes God sent an Angel to earth; he came in the light,
Two Angels returned to Heaven, it was a beautiful sight.

Yes God took Grace from us, up to that Heavenly Shore,
Now she’s with her loved ones that traveled the road before.
Grieve for Grace if you must, even shed a tear or two,
But always remember just how much, she loved every one of you.

Don't grieve for me because I am gone,
For there will be a brighter dawn
I may not be here, but memories thrive-
And, in your mind, I am still alive.

My life was good because of you!
You made the skies forever blue.
You loved me with your heart and soul,
You made my life complete and whole.

Please don't be sad, and do not cry,
It's part of life to say good-bye.
Think of all the love we shared.
How much we gave, how much we cared.

You'll see my face when the sky is bright,
Or hear my voice in the quiet night.
My presence will be with you every day,
So, don't believe I've gone away!

And, one day when the time is right.
We will join hands in Heaven's light.
There'll be no sorrow and no more pain,
For God will join us once again.
