| HEAVENLY DREAM
Pearl gates swing open wide, Saints rejoicing all inside. Streets made of purest gold, Only beauty to behold. Jasper walls all around, Only love can be found. The greatest of all to see, The One who died to set me free. I see a wonderful, glorious light, Shining and radiant and so bright. I hear beautiful praise and singing, Heavenly joybells are all ringing. No one is hurting, no one in pain, No one is crippled, no need of a cane. No sickness or death anywhere, No more grief, no more fear. I see Jesus reaching out for me, But, oh wait, this just can't be. It was only a Heavenly dream, But, oh so real this dream did seem. Yes, a dream it may be today, But, Heaven is only one breath away. Knowing the beauty that awaits me, Forever in Heaven I want to be. written by Carla Bell |

| This poem was submitted by Rory's Mother, Serena. My daughter Claudia wrote this poem for her little brother, who drowned not long after his third birthday, in 2004. The poem was written almost two years later, on the occasion of what would have been Rory's fifth birthday. Claudia is ten years old. It is a beautiful insight into the mind of a bereaved sibling - Serena, Rory's Mum Thou My Brother by Claudia Nathan, Rory’s sister Thou boy my brother Loved by father and mother Sister and Brother In heaven tonight, today and Tomorrow Our hearts are filled with sadness And sorrow Happiness, peace, love and hope You would think we were sad a lot but nope We shall remember Our lives together To the boy in heaven with all other Thou boy in heaven my little brother… In Memory of Rory July 31, 2001 to September 13, 2004 |
