A Loved One Poem

That Moment

That moment is upon us all again

When time stands still

When we search deep within

When we ask ourselves

Is this really the end

Or is this the switch

Where the true light begins

Is it the breaking apart

And loss of a friend

Or the shaking of hearts

When Jesus comes in

Making new starts

And beginning to mend

That moment is upon us all again.

Some of us don’t really know our belief

Should we be in pain, should we be in grief

Should we feel a burden or should we feel relief

Do we slump over in loss or walk in perfect peace

Well, God has answers for all of those who came

Release your hurt and release your pain

Peace be upon you in Jesus name.

To be absent from the body

Is to be present with the Lord

She’s in heaven with me now

Because she did her part

She gave her life to me

inviting Jesus in her heart.

She believed with all her soul

She confessed Jesus Christ

Heaven is rejoicing

She has un-dying life.

If there was a final moment

That she could come and speak

If there was a final mission

That she wanted to complete

She’d gather the entire family

And tell them who to seek

She’d tell them that this moment

Would come around again

If you give your life to Christ

This will not be the end

If you live your life with love

We shall meet again.
