On The Porch of Heaven

Today
On earth
You would have been 85
We would’ve gathered and celebrated your vibrancy
Your laugh
Your life as a life size babydoll
Sweet to hold
A joy to look upon

But today sweetheart
We remember you and your new citizenship
We recall that you are heaven bound.
God’s heart must of pounded an earthquake when he saw you walk in
Because precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints

I can hear you now.

Singing the wondrous love of Jesus
Singing his mercy and His grace
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place

Onward to the prize before us
Soon his beauty we’ll behold
Soon the pearly gates will open
We shall tread the streets of gold

When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We’ll sing and shout the victory


Grandma, I miss you but, Im glad you’ve met Jesus.
See you in the morning on the porch of Heaven.

You’re right, we will get together some day.
