Mother’s Day In Heaven
It’s your first Mother’s Day in Heaven –
I’m so thankful that you’re not alone;
As you behold the face of our Saviour,
And are blessed to worship at His throne.
Mom, I would love to send you flowers,
Though their fading glory could not compare
To the beautiful sights and sounds of Heaven,
And your very own mansion over there.
I never thought so much about Heaven,
As I have since you’ve gone home to that place –
Oh Mom, I miss you so very much,
And I long to see your precious face.
You see, this earthly home now seems more empty –
Its glitter and glamour can no more impress;
For Heaven is the place of God’s truest riches –
Where our Father only keeps the best!
Since you turned and trusted in the Saviour,
An amazing change has taken place;
Dwelling in the presence of Jesus now,
In Heaven – only because of His grace.
It’s your first Mother’s Day in Heaven –
With everlasting joy and peace up there.
Oh Mom, I miss you so much now,
But I know our reunion will be beyond compare.

(Dedicated to my Mom – I miss you, and look forward to seeing you again!)
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Ephesians 6:2-3
We love him, because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19
