TEARS IN A BOTTLE COLLECTION
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poet

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. LUKE 10:20 KJV

HEAVEN SENT
to Margaret [Peg] Casey Harbeck

An old house and a screened porch
Adorned with English ivy;
Set back from the road a piece,
Belonged to our family.
Shade trees grew out front and back;
Some fruit trees on either side;
Built and kept with elbow grease,
Enkindled much love and pride.
Thick, green shrubs lined the roadway;
Blossoms blooming ripe color;
Full clusters of lilacs fell,
Over the walk, touched the door.
At nightfall, bright lights came on,
Gave off an inviting glow;
Some say angels hovered near,
Singing softly, flying low.
The Lord surely blessed this home,
Blessed all that came and went;
'Cause when I heard God's roll call
Many had been heaven sent.
