Time to Say Goodbye (A Mums Prayer) by Carolyn Rakowski

A little Angel whispered in my ear,

Mama  its time to say Goodbye,

I did not know at the time,

 the messages were all there,

but I did not want to hear.

Because I loved to feel you near.

I felt the pain in her body,

The happiness in her eyes,

The joy of being part of her twin again,

It was all there,

but I did not want to say goodbye.

The time went so fast,

the love I bore.

I could not let go,

Until that night so close and near 

when that little faded voice said again to me

Its time to go Mama.

If my love would save her it really would.

But God said No she has stood enough,

Her body frail and tired.

Its time to rejoin your twin,

who has been waiting for you for a while.

Twelve years in pain,

 tis way  too long

to be from some one so close and dear,

So I will take you up to a land 

thats pain and tear free.

Our Lord has loved you all this time 

I truly surely know

that he has another spot for you 

A place of Peace and Joy

You will embrace your sister Barb,

with Nans and Pops and friends,

And I know you'll be waiting there for me,

When my journey will come to an end. 

Until then we'll say goodbye 

but its not for ever you know

Because our Lord has a place for all of us to go.

It is so important to love as much as you can,

because we never know 

when our name will be called 

to that home above on high.

Let us rejoice in Gods smallest gifts  

and thank him for our life

because if we would have never lived

this joy we would not know

And  as we wait in peace and happiness

and know that we will be called,

one day home to be with all 

that God has taken before.

Goodbye my sweet 

Till we meet again
