Slip Into Heaven's Rest

Slip into heaven's rest And rest assured you gave greatly of yourself, of your love, ...all your life... Let your frail body be refreshed and your tireless efforts to bring about joy, be rewarded in the glory that is heaven's peace Your time here, with us... a treasure, immeasurable Now to miss the warming touch of your hand, in mine, the sunny shine of your laughing eyes, the way you spoke my name.... I was never prepared for goodbye... Still a child of yours, alas, your leaving me behind ages my heart Immediately... I will watch for you, in quiet corners My heart will recognize your face... and I will carry your sweet gentleness as a compass for steering safely. Watch over, for you knew my every fault... and without hesitation, loved me long... AS ONLY MOTHERS DO... Slip into heaven's rest, Reunited, in the arms that reached for you, There....awaiting your arrival... Though far, now, from the embraces of Earth... My heart could hold no other closer.
