Waiting Patiently
I wish I could be there
to hold you close and tight
but I was holding their hands
while crossing the street that night
Those cars came out of nowhere
to fast for me to see
it was over in an instant
no suffering for him or me
I see that you are hurting
and your heart is breaking I know
but you must remain strong
to help the little ones grow
Keep in mind I'm holding him tight
we're waiting in Heaven for you
we'll stay this age forever
look for us when your time there is through
And....
Remember that you taught me well
on the right path I was
something you've showed us all
about honesty,faith and love
