Charity's Poem
for Ginger
Charity is my daughter and was Ginger's sister-in-law.
Ever since Charity married into the family she and Ginger were close, becoming
very deep and caring friends. Charity was very supportive to Ginger during
her illness, driving her to chemo and radiation appointments, making sure
her children got to school, sometimes just hanging out with her so she
wouldn't be alone.
While searching for a sympathy card to give to her
husband, Charity found this Hallmark card (she changed it slightly) and
felt that it said exactly what she wanted to say.
There's a door
that never closes, though it opens but one way
It's the door that leads to Home
at the end of life's long day
It's the threshold of forever where
the heart is always glad
It's a respite for the weary and
a comfort for the sad
It's the door to peace and healing
and the door to joy and grace
Where the Lady greets each guest
by name and with a warm embrace
And the loved ones who pass through
into the light that's shining there
Find a sweet and perfect home within
our Mother's loving care
