She Went Home To God Today

In memory of a dear friend Cathy, who passed away
Saturday, September 16th at the young age of 36
After a 3 month courageous battle with cancer
Loving wife and mother of 2 beautiful children
Your beautiful spirit will live on forever in our hearts

She Went Home To God Today

Her face so beautifully tranquil
pain and torture gone away
for no longer will she suffer
she went home to God today

Crystal tears fall from the children
at the tender age of, nine and eleven
much to young to fully understand
Mommy's now peacefully in Heaven

Placing flowers at the graveside
looking up to the sunny sky
praying to God for healing
for these precious souls who cry

Words alone brought no comfort
for they miss their mommy dear
only time will ease the pain
and slowly wash away their fear

Gentle loving hands of a husband
kneeling, folding his hands to pray
I know you must now be an angel
she went home to God today

No other can ever take her place
she was everything in his life
her spirit will be with them always
mother of his children, loving wife

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thoughts of death were never far from her mind
in the love for her children she found strength
to present a smile over a mask of pain
shielding these tiny souls from hurt
..........until her very last breath.......
