Never Til Heaven

Dearly Loved,
For all the times
you held me, taught me, loved me
For all the times
we sat together, laughed together.

I called to you
and you were there.

Now that space is empty
But I hold myself strong
Because that's what you taught me
Find the place I belong.

Dearly Loved,
The memories
fog my dreams at night
Showing me what once was
Never to be again,

Never til heaven, never til heaven.

Once in awhile
I'll hear your voice
singing your lullabies

"Bright angels are near,
So sleep without fear."

In the dark
I lie awake
holding back the tears
Cuz I know that's not what you want from me
No, not from me
not from anyone.

Just hold these memories dear
Though we can't see you again

Never til heaven, never til heaven.
No, never til heaven.

RIP Nana

This is for my Nana who used to love me so much, and still does in Heaven. My nana who would sing me a lullaby to put me to sleep when I was scared.

"Bright angels are near, so sleep without fear. They will guard thee from harm, with thy dream land's sweet charm."
