He Waits For Me
Invisible though you may be, I see
That look of ever yearning in your eyes
Your voice in utter silence calling me
Your presence always lurking at my side
Resisting you with every breath I take
Defying what I know is destiny
Afraid to close my eyes, I lie awake
As you call out my name, 'Rose Bethany'
Memories of my life, like autumn leaves
Fall down in blazing flames of burnished gold
To lie at the foot of this old oak tree
In every leaf a precious story told
And you my 'Death', who waited oh so long
Finally take me, now that 'Life' is gone
