On earth we make our mistakes
Heaven is a place to make up for everything we did wrong
To meet again in greeting with forgiveness and love
Hugs of understandings that we never would have given while on earth
Heaven is a place where we can begin again with a much better approach
I long for the day when I will see you again and forgive you for the wrong you caused
The heartbreak and pain that caused me to stumble a many times
The tears that never dried from my face when I was alone and cold at night
I long for the day when race or color will no longer matter
Or what religion we worship or the day we attend church

I long for the day when mothers and fathers will no longer pressure the son
To do something his heart was never in to begin with
I long for the day when love is all that matters and not who you share vows with
Till that day comes I will just smile and carry on knowing in my heart that
I will see you again and offer you my hand again with love
For now I let you rest and may God bless you in all that you do
With my last look as they lower you in the grave I throw my last flower on your casket
Bearing you a goodnight, with love

NOTE:The person I have written this poem about did not die, it just feels like that since they are no longer in my life for reasons that are stated above in my writing.


I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

What a fine tender heartfelt goodbye, which reveals that you are a kind, forgiving soul.
