A helpful poem

My wife's cousin gave us a poem to help us out with the mourning process of our recent loss, he said it helped him out a lot when he lost his mother a couple of years ago and said it would probably help us out.

"If you could see where I have gone"

If you could see where I have gone, the beauty of this place, and how it feels to know you're home.

To see the Savior's face, to wake in peace and know no fear, just beyond compare.

While still on earth, you miss me yet, you wouldn't want me there.

If you could see where I have gone.

If you could see where I have gone, had made the trip with me.

You'd know I didn't go alone, the Savior came with me.

When I awoke, he was by my side, and reached out his hand.

Said "Hurry child you're coming home, to grand and glorious land, don't worry over those you love for I'm not just with you.

And don't you know, with you at home, they'll long to be here too."

If you could see where I have gone, and see what I've been shown.

You'd never know another tear, or ever feel alone.

You'd marvel at the care of God, his hand on every life.

And realize he really cares, and bears with us each strife.

And the he weeps when one is lost, his hear is filled with pain.

But oh the joy when one comes home, a child at home again.

If you could see where I have gone could stay awhile with me, could share the things that God has made, to grace eternity.

But no you could never leave, once Heaven's joy you'd known.

You couldn't bear to walk earth's paths, once Heaven was your home.

If you could see where I have gone, you'd know we'll meet someday.

And though I'm parted from you now, that I am just away.

So thank you family, thank you friends, for living for the Lord.

For teaching me to love him, to trust him and his word.

And now that I'm at home with him, secure in every way.

I'm waiting here at Heavens door to greet you some sweet day. 

gop hoping this helps others as out as well........................
