Forgive Me, Please!

FORGIVE ME, PLEASE

Jesus called me home last night, a smile was on His face.
I did not want to disappear and leave  without a trace.
So, I wrote these words for you my dears, while  He waited patiently.
Didn't have much time,but I had to ask ,..if you would kindly forgive me?

I was a sassy child, dear Mom and Dad, such a spoiled little kid.
Treated you so bad at times, not even thinking  of what I did.
Then I became a wife and Mom and had little ones to raise.
Their childhood flew by so fast, and  I never gave them enough praise.

I cooked and cleaned and did the chores that God gave me to do,
But selfishness took over many times before my work was through.
I loved the horses way too much, they were my dream come true
They kept me from my family who then took a new course too.

My dear mate for life worked very hard to provide my every whim
Again, my selfishness got in the way, I showed little gratitude to him.
And my dearest, kindest friend of all, I seldom asked what was His will..
Yet Jesus waited  so patiently, and He is waiting for me still.

To those who crossed my path on my  life's journey through the years
I ask humbly, "Please forgive me", and do not shed your precious tears.
If Jesus can forgive me, then surely you will too
He has saved me a place in heaven, and I have His work to do.

My life here has been  special, just because all of you were close
Think of me when you see a garden, I'll still be Mama, GYPSYROSE.
I'll try to send all the joy in heaven to you  via special delivery
As you laugh and play the "dice" game, hoping that then you might  think of me.

My day will come to leave you, just as sure as the sun was made
Jesus will take me home again, yet my love for you will never fade.
I hope you feel me watching as you gaze up to the stars in the sky
It is part of God's most wonderful plan that we live and then we die.

Vio con Dios, Go with God, always keep His hand in yours
Whether you are having fun, or just home doing  household chores.
Remember to say you are sorry, a lesson taught by God above
Forgive me, please,if I ever hurt you, ~~ as I leave you with all my  LOVE.
