Dear Mary - Poem by Mary Katherine Kohl

If you were here beside me I'd give you hugs and a kiss,

But since you're with Jesus I'll tenderly "Reminisce"

Some folks may need to write, others need a final "good by"

Many spend a long time grieving and can't do much but cry.

But you've made the grade, sweetie, I'll not think, "Poor me"

For death is the beginning of Life, as God meant it to be.

I prefer to spend my time counting blessings galore;

I've gotten more than my share and a whole lot more!

I'm so grateful you were sent from the Great Master above.

My heart is all "aglow" with an eternal LOVE.

Human nature could cause me to grieve away "hours"

I could run to the cemetery with oodles of flowers.

But your earthly life is over. "I" must go on.

Though your body is buried your "love" isn't gone.

Yes, I feel your presence in a spiritual way;

So, you'll always be with me forever and a day.

Yes, my little darling you've passed the final quest:

I'm happy you're with JESUS, you NOW have the Best

So how could I grieve though you're no longer near:

Yes, there's an emptiness but my heart swells with a cheer!

Sure I'm experiencing oh, such "sweet" SORROW,

But someday I'll be with you in that Eternal Tomorrow.

Till then I'll not be seeing your sweet face,

But I'll carry on... abiding in GOD'S sufficient GRACE!

Love You Always!

MOM
