Remembering a Beloved Aunt - Re-Posted


The last time that I saw her face

Or got to hug her tight
Was years ago, while she was strong
And still winning the fight.

I always planned to get back there,
To see her once again,
But something’s always going wrong
In every well laid plan.

I missed the chance to say good-bye
And tell her just once more
That she was so precious to me,
Someone I could adore.

Now she’s been on my mind again,
As I moved through this day,
And, if I could get word to her,
I know what I would say.

“I missed my last chance here on earth,
But you found God’s pure Grace,
So I know I’ll hug you again
And kiss your shining face.”


1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God

To all of those whom we wish that we'd had one more chance to hug, to say I love you, to tell them that we will hold them in our hearts forever.
