“Mothers never really die”
Death beckoned her with outstretched hand
and whispered softly of an “UNKNOWN LAND”
but she was not afraid to go
for though the path she did not know
she took death’s hand without a fear,
for He who safely brought her here,
had told her He would lead the way,
into Eternity’s bright way…
and so she did not go alone
into the “Valley that’s unknown”
She gently took death by the hand
and journeyed to the “Promised Land”…
and there with step so light and gay,
she polishes the sun by day,
and lights the stars that shine at night
and keeps the moonbeams silvery bright…
For MOTHERS really never die,
they just “KEEP HOUSE UP IN THE SKY”
and in the heavenly home above
they wait to welcome those they love.
