When I Get To Heaven

When I get to Heaven, will He welcome me above?

Will I be reunited with the one I shared my love?

Our life on earth was happy, contented and so real.

No unkind words were spoken, just a love that was ideal.

God brought us together; I know this in my heart.

But my love developed cancer, and soon we had to part.

I never knew on earth, the reason why this was.

God must have had plans though, for this I’m sure He does.

I question why it happens, I was filled with so much woe.

The answers I shall find someday, then I'll feel I know.

It’s not for me to know right now, until my life is o’er.

But when I get to heaven, I won't wonder anymore.

My love was only worried, that I would be alone.

He wasn’t afraid of dying, just me being on my own.

But as I feel his presence, with God right by his side,

Knowing how he loves his Jesus, makes my heart swell with pride.

So when I get to heaven, I’ll see my loved one there.

With Jesus inside my heart, I speak to Him through prayer.

Now when it’s time for me to go…from my body to be free,

I know with arms spread wide, He’ll be there to welcome me.

During the upcoming holidays, we all have a scar left in our hearts for the ones we have lost. Just remember ....... God won't give us more than we can handle.
