Perfect Mom (in Heaven), The
by louis gander Ruth 1925 - 2014 In remembrance of my mom... Escorted by the rising tide that I no longer see, I don't look back to shores again I know will never be. The garden gate has opened up and I am ushered to the freshest, fragrant flowers with the deepest velvet hue. The vibrant colors beckon me as I think back with ease, recalling garden flowers there ...but nothing such as these. Has Eden's garden multiplied a million trillion times? The choir voices carry on as I hear echoed chimes. No wheelchair or blindness now. No pain cuts through my face. I take my lively buoyant steps on paths that prove His grace. I feel just like a child again. I jump and skip and hop as landscapes go forever here with beauty that's non-stop. The vivid 'reds' are deeper and the 'yellows' brighter still. The roses, and the daffodils and other flowers fill - the contours of the garden knolls with colored trees of fall. The sunshine brightens everything ...and now I see it all. I glide now ever closer to an everlasting brook meandering the lily pads that my attention took. Every scene and every sight is pleasingly outstanding. The peace that envelopes me now still passes understanding. The sweetened fragrance envelopes me in this special place - and all of Heav'n around me here reflects His shining face. I hear His soft familiar voice that whispers in my ear, "There's nothing here to worry you, there's nothing here to fear." ------- (My mom's favorite song) I Come To The Garden Alone I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses. Refrain: And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks, and the sound of His voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. Refrain: And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. I'd stay in the garden with Him Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling. Refrain: And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. Copyright 2021 by louis gander.
