If tears could build a stairway, and thoughts a memory lane, <br />I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. <br />No farwell words were spoken, <br />No time to say good-bye, you were gone before we knew it, <br />And only God knows why. <br />My heart's still active in sadness and secret tears still flow, <br />What it meant to lose you <br />No one can ever know. <br />But now I know you want us to mourn for you no more, <br />To remember all the happy times. <br />Life still has much in store. <br />Since you'll never be forgotten, <br />I pledge to you today <br />A hallowed place within my heart, is where you'll always stay. <br />God knows why, with chilling touch, <br />Death gathers those we love so much, <br />And what now seems so strange and dim, <br />Will all be clear, when we meet Him, <br />I knew you for a moment.<br /><br />Nora Eason<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heaven-64/
