A Kiss from Heaven

By Deshaun Foster

A light from our family is gone

A voice we love is stilled

A place is vacant in the home

Which never can be filled

We have to mourn the lost of one

We would've loved to keep

But god who surely loved her best

Has finally made her sleep

After a lifetime of her love and joy

And music to fill our ears

God leave these wonderful memories

To help us through our tears.
