We All Have Them

Lessons From Heaven

“It’s scary to think about leaving…

To go where I can’t see your face.

How will I ever return", I asked

"If I can’t remember this place"?

“I’ll give you lessons from Heaven”

He said with a smile in His eyes.

A sigh, then a look of confusion

Was all I could give in reply.

“Lessons to guide your return, child

To your home, this place you once knew

Trials to help you grow stronger

Don’t worry…I’ll be there for you”.

The lessons won’t be very easy,

Your heart will be aching with pain;

Some will seem harder than others,

Though not one will you learn in vain".

“You can do it”, he said as he hugged me;

“I know what you’re capable of.

You’re right…you won’t see my face

But child, I’ll send you my love”.
