Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven,
and though it must appear
A rather strange idea,
I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit,
your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother,
as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought,
I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card,
from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too,
no matter where I
reside
I had to leave, she understands,
but oh the tears she's cried.
I thought that if I wrote you,
that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now,
I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me;
we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now,
would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart,
her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, s
sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden,
there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents,
trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark,
though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind her
of her wondrous worth.
She needs to be honored,
and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark,
I know you'll do your best
I have done all
I can do;
to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her,
how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself,
when she joins me in eternity.
I love you and I miss you mom, and though you’ve passed away, you‘ll never be forgotten, for I think of you each day.
If heaven celebrates this day
how special it will be.
A gathering of the many moms
upon our family tree.
Your mother and grandmother
and great grandmother too.
How wonderful it is, that they
can spend this day with you.
May you know how much I love you
though I’m here and you are there.
Happy Mother’s Day in heaven
to the best mom anywhere!

Spiritual Poem about Death
Within two years, my husband and I both lost parents, him a dad and myself my mom. I wrote a poem called "If You See My Dad In Heaven." It became popular, so I wrote one about my mom. It's very good therapy to express and write about your loved ones. You remember all the beautiful reasons you loved them so much.

If You See My Mom In Heaven
Published by Family Friend Poems November 2017
If you see my mom in heaven,
She won't be hard to
find.
She's God's masterpiece of
Motherhood.
She's unique and one of a kind.
She'll be the one with the prettiest
Smile.
Her angel wings she wears with pride,
And as she reaches out to greet you,
You'll see the twinkle in her eyes.
She'll be digging in God's flower beds,
Gathering flowers as she goes.
She'll pick a single flower bouquet:
The beauty of God's red rose.
She'll be playing with the smallest angels,
Singing joyful
games upon her knee,
Or maybe writing words of wisdom,
Or reciting a poem or three.
She's with her mom and dad now,
Embracing them lovingly or
Visiting with her long-lost friends,
Chatting so happily.
She'll be God's strongest angel.
No more burdens will she bear.
She'll stroll about with strength and grace,
Kneeling with God in prayer.
So if you see my mom in heaven,
Will you take care of her for me?
Place a kiss upon her cheek,
And hug her just for me.
You see, she was my special mom,
The truest friend she was to me.
She taught me all about our God
And the love he had for me.
She's my royal queen of mothers.
She'll wear her very own crown.
She'll sit and share God's golden
Throne in God's beautiful
Heavenly home.
Interview with Top Poet Jac Judy A. Campbell
- What is a favorite memory you have of your mom?
My favorite memory of my mother is that she always took the time to rock, sing, hold, and love her children. - Where do you find your writing inspiration?
There are two writing inspirations. One is my husband. He is a romantic, and he is always saying cute sentences or silly quotes. I then put them in a poem. The other inspiration is a memory will come, and I will feel a heart jiggle and I'll start writing. - How does your spirituality influence your writing?
My spirituality influences my writing by listening to my preacher and researching the scriptures. It's hard to describe sometimes, just pure heart feelings. - What is your favorite experience that has resulted from being published on Family Friend Poems?
My experience from Family Friend Poems is that I started reading some of the beautiful poems, and that encouraged me to start putting my poems out there so others will benefit and enjoy my writings.
