A piece of me

I'm not sure why, but the Caylee Anthony case has struck such a deep chord in me. That poor little girl went through so much. so much that we will never even know. I know she is in a better place being loved and held by the God I know . Years ago, my father wrote a beautiful poem. He never got to finish it because he lost his fight with cancer, but in such a dark hour, I fully believe it is still true. So, from the deepest part of my heart, where I keep my dad, here are the words from his heart.

You’ll See When You Get Here

Our Father’s ways are far above what we can understand

And often we may question the working of His hand

But we can trust His faithfulness, we never have to fear

His plans are always for our good. You’ll see when you get here

I don’t know why the Father chose to take me home this way

Before I had a chance to live and grow and run and play

But being in His presence, there’s no sadness and no tears

Everyone here is so happy. You’ll see when you get here.

Heaven is so very wonderful, and beautiful to see

It’s great to be with Jesus, and hear Him speak to me

And there’s no pain, and no disease, no anger and no fear

There’s only light, and joy and peace, you’ll see when you get here

And though you may sometimes feel that we’re so very far apart

I know that you will always love me and keep me in your heart

For now that I’m in heaven, I see you all so clear

It’s as if we were together. You’ll see when you get here!

The Father had a place prepared. It was something to behold

A mansion of my very own beside a street of gold

A lot of folks here told me that you all were so dear

And they are waiting for you. You’ll see when you get here.

And you won’t feel the sense of loss that’s hurting you today.

Because eternity will have begun and time will have passed away.

And you and I will be together with all who we hold dear

And we’ll never be apart again. You’ll see when you get here.
