In Waiting
You are gone from us
But we are never alone.
We gather here now
To lay down your stone.
One of remembrance
One to mark your resting place
You will never be forgotten.
Memories nothing can ever erase
No one will ever forget
Your sweet embrace.
We can not forget
Your shining face.
The path of White Light
Came to bring you home
We listen for your voice
Descending from the whispering dome.
‘Twas not more than this
Eight moons since your pass
Unto the beauty unknown
You have entered sweet bliss
Where all shall forever last
To see our King sit upon His throne.
For you were to all
Such sweet company
The joy of your face
Curls of such mahogany.
We all hope to see
You awaiting us some day
Arms outstretched in longing
On the beach of an emerald bay.
We are in longing
As we lay down your stone
To see you again
In a world He calls His own.
