I remember when my mother died My father's heart was torn in two He looked up to Heaven and he said 'Without her Lord, what will I do? We've loved each other since childhood She was also, my best friend' Love and friendship - last forever But life comes to an end Dad grew weak as time passed by Without Mam - he was not the same At night he'd cry himself to sleep And in sleep - he'd speak her name. I was with him in his final hour And through the tears I cried In a 'vision'I saw love re-born On the night my father died. He softly whispered Mammy's name The last word I heard him say I saw a smile come upon his face Before he quietly passed away. And then, I heard my Mother's voice I 'saw' her outside Heaven's gate. "I could not go in without you, I begged God - please let me wait" 'You've stood here all this time for me? You've waited outside Heaven's door?' "It would not be Heaven - without you, You've always been worth waiting for" And as Dad took Mam by the hand Heaven's gates were opened wide Together again, together in love God welcomed them inside.
