A whisper
By Lisa Noe

I heard a whisper of my name
I looked around and there you came
The ghost of a man I held so dear
A man who’s been gone for many years

My soul knew that this was real
And my heart, it stood still
There you were in all your glory
Telling me a wonderful story

Heaven’s real you spoke to me
That’s where I’ve been don’t you see
I’ll be waiting for you there
So you must stop all of the despair

I’ve seen the face of the Creator
I know His Son in all His splendor
Don’t you fret you’ll soon be here
You’ll see it all and it will be clear

Love is the way even in this day
Life’s more than I can ever say
But you live for today and know I’m fine
And always remember just be kind.

This homecoming is just for you
So you will know I love you too.
