WAITING

There may be great pain and grief when someone knows they are going to pass away from this world leaving a loved one behind.

I will be waiting for you

Beyond the edge

The place where the horizon meets the sky

Or where the sun rises in the East

Or sets in the West

 

You may catch glimpses of me

During the moonrise

As I run ahead

Or trail behind

 

Perhaps I may go further away

Towards Heaven’s embrace

But will you find me there

In this vast amazing place

 

If our souls meet up

Would you recognise me

After so long

Will you still love me 

 

Will God pardon my delay

While I stay behind

To watch over you 

Remaining too long

Where I do not belong

 

Should I trust my Heavenly Papa

To take care of you

When I am gone

Can I stay with you

For however long

 

When you leave

You can find me

Where the peaceful winds blow

I will be waiting there

My love
