DOES MOTHER MISS ME?

Does Mother miss me, dear Lord,
now that she's with You?
Does she ever think about me,
and feel a little blue?
Can her happiness be complete
when I am still down here?
Tell me, Father, how is she? 
How is my Mother dear?

On days when I am lonely,
and wishing she were here,
I wonder if she misses me,
my precious Mother dear,
But in my heart I know the truth --
although she loves me still,
She's happy beyond words now! 
Her heart is all a-thrill!

She knows we're meeting someday soon,
she knows it won't be long,
and there's no time for heartache
when you're singing Heaven's song!

All things are seen from Heaven's view,
and not as here below;
and she is filled with love of God!
There's joy for her, I know!
The joy that those of us on earth
but dimly understand --
the pure, sweet joy of knowing God,
of touching Jesus' hand!

How can my mother look behind;
or cry for earthly things?
She's walking with her Precious Lord,
Who is the king of Kings!
She sees His face, and talks with Him --
what rapture that must be --
to be with Him and know His love
for all eternity!
