Secrets Of Heaven

You’re in a place I cannot go
Until God calls me to.
You have secrets, that I know,
For I believe in you.
Like the child that you are
You want to let it out.
The grin that lights your face
Tells what you’re about.
I know you want to tell me
But you showed God you could
Keep the knowledge you have silent
As you promised Him you would.
And you whisper to me like the wind
Softly, and you don’t say much.
Then you just retreat,
Too far away to touch.
I don’t know the secrets of heaven
And that makes our Father proud.
So, I’ll just wait ‘til we’re together
To hear you speak them aloud.

Blessing

In meeting you
I was richly blessed.
I knew you were separate
From the rest.
I miss your words
Because God has your spirit.
I yearn for your voice
Because I never got to hear it.
You longed for ‘something that reflects
Who you are, and has profound meaning,’
To help your friends and family
Through the process of grieving.
‘I will not allow myself to die,’ you said.
A few months ago, your words I read.
Your compassionate heart and loving soul
Were truly beautiful to behold.
Knowing you has been a pleasure,
For you saw the glory, you felt the treasure.
When I was feeling low
I could always count on you
To make the smile hidden
On my inside show through.
The world was blessed
For fifteen years,
And your passing has led us
To shed many tears.
But on those days
When I want to fall apart,
I remember what you said,
‘Keep me in your heart.’
