Have To Share

[mlg]

I have to share what my daughters got me for Christmas. It is a beautiful heart shaped necklace with a hole on one side. If you flip it over there is a heart soldered to the back that if you could flip it over the one side would fill the hole in the big heart. It had a poem with it that I will share. I posted on this forum because it is appropriate for anyone with a loss.

The Reunion Heart.

Since Heaven has become your home

I sometimes feel I'm so alone,

and though we now are far apart

you hold a big piece of my heart.

I never knew how much I'd grieve

when it was time for you to leave

or just how much my heart would ache

from that one fragment you would take

God lets this tender hole remain

reminding me we'll meet again

and one day all the pain will cease

when He restores this missing piece

He'll turn to joy my every tear

and when I wear this necklace near

it will become my simple way

to treasure our Reunion Day.

And then at the bottom it said Tom, forever in my heart.

Needless to say there were tears over this as there are now but I will always treasure this.
