My Mom went home to be with the Lord on September 22nd, 2005. This is her first Mother's Day In Heaven. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be encouraged or comforted by it. Thank you.
Mother’s Day In Heaven
It’s your first Mother’s Day in Heaven –
I'm so thankful that you're not alone;
As you behold the face of our Saviour,
And are blessed to worship at His throne.
Mom, I would love to send you flowers,
Though their fading glory could not compare
To the beautiful sights and sounds of Heaven,
And your very own mansion over there.
I never thought so much about Heaven,
As I have since you’ve gone home to that place –
Oh Mom, I miss you so very much,
And I long to see your precious face.
You see, this earthly home now seems more empty –
Its glitter and glamour can no more impress;
For Heaven is the place of God’s truest riches –
Where our Father only keeps the best!
Since you turned and trusted in the Saviour,
An amazing change has taken place;
Dwelling in the presence of Jesus now,
In Heaven - only because of His grace.
It’s your first Mother’s Day in Heaven –
With everlasting joy and peace up there.
Oh Mom, I miss you so much now,
But I know our reunion will be beyond compare.

This blessed my heart! I ache to see my mother again but I know I will see her at the Banquet Table in Heaven!!! :-)
Very Beautiful Jer
Thank you Brother Jerry, your work is such a blessing for me.
Thank you Jerry, I will send a link to my siblings. I had not thought of Mothers Day much yet. I have always bought mother a corsage to wear to Church. I opened her deep freezer one day and it was full of corsages that I had given her over the years neatly packed away in the boxes that they came in. A flower will not last forever but a mothers love will and even though my mother has gone on to be with the Lord, I can still feel that love!
Thank you for that beautiful poem. My mom passed away April 23,2011 and I am struggling dealing with the fact that she is gone. This has helped me. Thank you, Liz
My grandmother is in hospice and this poem touch my heart.
