In heaven waiting


I’m constantly reminded of you when I look at my daughters face, 

I picture you in heaven, a different world, a better place,

Your personality is reborn through the innocence of my children, 

They have them ambitious, fearless attributes that was always willing,

I compare you and my daughter often and sometimes it’s chilling, 

I know your with us mom, I know that you are here, I know that’s why your grandchildren do not have no fear, 

I know that you intervened and save my son’s life, I felt your presence in that room on that hot summer night, 

Sometimes I get angry and proclaim that I do not have faith, 

On the stairway to heaven I know you’ll be waiting at that gate, 

I’ll enjoy the rest of my life here on this earth, but I cannot lie, without you here, your little boy still hurts....
