Heaven’s Visitor

Just This Once

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

The Lord allowed me just this time

To infiltrate your dream

Although you’ll find this dream sublime

It is as it would seem

Tomorrow you will see its worth

As you remember this

That kiss goodbye my day of birth

Mom, I recall that kiss

Don’t blame yourself because I died

You couldn’t have done more

Your heartache must be put aside

It’s what I’m sent here for

For hearts to mend, one must aspire

You must resolve to fight

Those shadows in your heart require

The presence of a light

God saw your sorrow, felt your pain

And sent me here to you

The inner peace you will attain

Is surely overdue

Your bitterness towards the Lord

It has you feeling torn

He knew you’d be completely floored

To have a child still-born

So trust in God for heaven’s sake

I’m where I’m meant to be

You’ll notice Mom, when you awake

You won’t be sad for me

And by-the-way, your Daddy’s here

I told him you’re asleep

He said to say, “I love you dear

This bond we have, we’ll keep”

Don’t worry Mom, I’m doing well

In heaven I am “grown”

You’ll waken to a pleasant smell

My presence will be known

You gently held my tiny thumbs

Last time I had to go

But this time when the morning comes

You’ll be at peace, I know
