It Was Time By Barbara Lee Bridwell Everyone called you Nana Brett named you that at 4 months old. I pray that God will mend his broken heart and shelter him from this cold. On the day god called you home my world crashed there on the floor. Consumed by heartbreak. I realized you weren't with me anymore. Every breath you take is now fresh You walk, you jump, you run. I knew the day before you passed that your work on Earth was done. I hoipe you found comfort in your Mothers arms. and that your Father rode you piggyback I hope you run through field with Danny It can't get better than that. You taught me to love without condition communication in love is key. You earned your wings and Halo So don't you worry about me. The void in my heart is vast loosing my mother and best friend. I'll see you in my dreams each night Til I can be with you again God called you home cause it was time I now stand solo but not alone For God He will stay here with me til I can make it on my own. For you Mom. I'll love you always
