Heaven's Daises

I just came across the following poem I wrote shortly after my mother passed away. Even though she has been gone for a time now, this poem continues to be a poignant reminder of how much I miss her.....
Though you have gone on
To an eternal better place

I wonder, do you see me?

Can you remember my face?

Although I cannot hug you

Can I somehow hug the wind?

Are you busy, on a schedule?

Do you feel my love within?

When now you write your thoughts

Are they written on the clouds?

If I will look above

Can I read them? Am I allowed?

Who can I call to tell

About a blessing in my day?

If I say it soft out loud

Will sound waves carry it away?

What was it like to see

Your dear departed mate?

Was he waiting with a rose?

Did he open heaven’s gate?

I suppose the losing

Of those we love so dear

Helps us to understand

Father’s sacrifice – his Son – right here.

It seems the only time

My eyes can see the way

Is when I close my eyelids

As I bow my head to pray.

For our mortal eyes can see

The beauty of the earth.

But the vision of our spirit

Sees long before our birth.

Oh, may I strive to offer

My hands so willingly

To run the errands of my Father

And remember I’m your posterity.

And, when I see you once again.

When I am called back home.

May I bring you Heaven’s Daisies
From the seeds your life has sown.
