Picture of heaven

Sitting in Gods lap,
holding great grandmas hand.
I met her at the gates,
Mommy, you were so sad.

Great grandmas with me now,
tell great grandpa she is safe.
Daddy, I love you,
Mommy, I always will.

Papa, love the new baby
with all of your heart.
Grandma, dont let my birthday
tear you apart.

Andi, hug my Mommy for me,
I will get to one day,
when I meet her at those beautiful gates!

Ive watched you over the last year,
never let you out of my sight.
I held your hand mommy,
when you told daddy theres a new baby on the way.

I miss you family,
I always will.
Hold on tight to what you hold dear.

Link by link we will come back together,
over time you will find it easier.
till that day when we meet again,
I love you mommy,
I always will.

    Firstly, i'm sorry to hear of your loss. i'm sure she was/is a very much loved and missed member of your family. i know it's difficult to lose someone that close to you. i admire the fact you've managed to write about it in such a lovely way. your words seem to have a lot of composure and simplicity that's hard to maintain. well done.

    in regards to reading and commenting my poems, please read my 4 latest and the poem entitled 'Less Than Average.' i'd love to hear what you think. i don't mind if you don't want to comment on 9 of my poems, so just the first 4 and the affore mentioned poem is fine. Unless of course you decide you want to [!]
    well done again, you have talent.x

    I'm sorry for your loss. It's never easy to let someone go and it's good to bring closure with comfort which I think you have achieved in your piece. It's such a sad and emotional poem, yet, beautifully written. Lovely write.

    Aww. I was touched deeply bby this poem. So sad. I felt tears wanting to come. The only problems in it were grammatical and along those lines. Other than that, your wording was good.

    5/5.

    Hold on tight to what you hold dear, like someone else mentioned before me, it catched my breath; Hold on tight to what you hold dear. I simply love it

    PS could you commend the last poems I've written, they mean a lot to me. I'd like to get some advice from a writer like you (that line keeps popping in my mind)
