Heaven Opened Its Gates Poem by Melissa Patty

Heaven open its doors to a beautiful angel on this day
God held her hand as she flew to a place so far away
Today recalls the loss of a true fighter
In the skies above she made the stars shine brighter
My Mum lived her life with every breath she could take
To the many hard decisions and sacrifices she was prepared to make
Day by day as I watched her fight her pain
I hope you will be waiting by the gate and will be in each others arms once again
My world was took to the city of angels as she flew high
Time can never heal the scars of saying goodbye
My heart froze as I stepped towards the bed
As I looked at her beautiful face is the word 'wake up' inside my head
In peace you lie and so still you slept
That moment of loss is a pain forever wept
Mum in those fluffy clouds I know your watching above
I hold a very special woman in my heart who I forever and always love
Lord I ask, take care of my mum until I meet her on the other side
These years seem to roll into one as time as grown wide
Although your gone to a better place your home still remains here
I know that whenever I need someone she is always near.
