Planes Over Speke

Saint Peter had the keys to Heaven in his hand.
As he welcomed my Mum into the promised land.
'Choose a room Lil' he says 'choose from them all'
'And pin your favourite pictures to Heavens wall'

'Tap dance if you wish or line dance by all means'
'Ramble through the clouds, relive all your dreams'
'This is Heaven Lil, where God's children are kept'
'A tranquil paradise, where nobody has ever wept'

'Look down on your children and their children too'
'Their pain will heal in time, that's what God will do'
Tears they fell for Mum today, as people loved her so.
As planes flew over Speke today, we all cried below.

Thank you very much for the likes and comments over my 2 recent poems about my Mums passing.

We had afternoon tea and cake in a restaurant close to Speke Airport after the service hence that particular reference. Mum loved to tap and line dance and was a keen rambler when she younger and in better health.

Heart-felt without being maudlin, Mike.
