Heaven Is Waiting

Heaven is waiting for you, my friend
You said, you saw them there
I know you want to leave the suffering behind
You have fought so hard and been so kind
Angels are waiting, you will find
When the time is right, everything will be so bright
This illness will attack you no more
Heaven is waiting my friend
Every giving gesture on your part is known
All the love you have spread is shown
And when that time comes…
I will be looking at the sky, still seeing you
Knowing that you are home safely
Know that I will be there one day and our reunion will shine
It will shine like every star in the sky
For every moment shared and everything you did for me
For everyone on earth to see

Thank you so very much. It has been very hard to see this happen to my friend with aggressive cancer who has fought so hard without complaints and is one of the most giving people I know. I appreciate your kind comment. Hugs:)
