It is not our job
to keep our loved ones alive
Nor is it our job to justify behavior
So it does put pressure and hurt
when we love someone
who has made wrong choices
or waits at Heavens gate
But lingers on to appease loved ones
All we can do is give our support
For our own lives are much too short
and find the time to know
when it is the time for letting go!
Mom had terminal Cancer
Late at night I slept in her room
One night she said Jesus had come
It was time for me to let her go
I shed tears in her memory
But none were shed at the funeral
as she let me know
she was with Jesus and it was time to go
