 If Only I Could Spend One Hour 

.
If only I could spend one hour in time
With my mom and dad once again
I have so much to tell them and so 
Much to share about all I have done
Since they both have gone away.
.
I have finished college and have 
A great career.  I have a son all 
grown and on his own. I am so proud
of all he has become.  No other children
just the one.
.
I would ask how heaven is like and what 
do they do up there. Do they watch over us
when we need some help and guidance.?
Do they whisper their thoughts into our ears?
.
I would love to hug and kiss them one more time
Feel their arms around me like they used to do 
each night.  Telling me that they loved me as they
turned out the light.
.
To feel their love once more…like I did before
To see them both leave me and walk hand and hand
through heaven’s door. 
.

Kathy, your wonderfully written poem...stands here with a valid point...you aren't separated by earthy death...you can sit down on this bench for as long as you wish...and overtaken by a deep level of happiness...have your "conversation" with your re-located parents...besides you don't ever need to use your words to do so...almost effortlessly "talk" to your "mom and dad once again"...to your heart content...
You don't need science to tell you how it feels or/and if it's real...absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (sic)... Yes, they are watching over you with the same love...use an intuitive thoughts that unexpected-spring to your mind to communicate with you...leaving you so surprise...so often....at how that love is manifested...

Maybe one day...that...blessing-humanity science and its first-hand-evidence will replace faith...science and spirituality will be united and...see into the beyond...and you Kathy...using an inter-dimention doorway new gadget in your hand...saying directly to them...Hello from Earth!...work-in-progress-for-an-open-minded-scientist-believer!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts provoking poem. God bless!

Beautiful write! I, too, would like to speak to my mom and dad one more time (especially my mom) to tell her how much I love her and miss her; and yes, I would also like to ask them just about anything in their present lives.

Beautiful to feel the love once more.
To walk hand and hand through heaven's door.
I too, wish!

God bless,

I am not ready to have a conversation with my dad. And I intend to take as much time from my mom and heaven allows. So I am torn between wanting to spend an hour with either Carl Sagan or Thomas Paine. Sagan and I could speak the same language, share common thoughts and ideas, and that could actually eliminate him as a potential conversationalist. But Thomas Paine was a small, sickly man, not imposing at all, yet a brilliant essayist, and someone who was admired by scholars and hated by tyrants, bigots, and eventually those he loved the most--the common man. He inspired a nation, he was the most responsible person behind the French and Americans. He accepted no payments from his adopted country (America), and died abandoned by his country with but two black men walking behind his funeral cortege. What a conversation we might have!

Considering I just lost a dear friend to cancer yesterday, this is most apt and timely for me, Kathi. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes,
