Should My Time Here End

My heart, I have lived within you from the day we met Now the passing hours seem to be shorter, still Before I leave I must confess the reason why I drifted away For had I known of your true desires from the start, I would have saved you all the grief I tried to show you what love is but wouldn’t give you my soul! You found it hard to trust ‘til I spoon fed it to you It’s just too bad, late in the game, the picture became quite clear So I stepped away though it hurt me to; I did bid you move on with your life I’ve told you time and again, how very sorry, I am I pray God will send that special girl so you can settle down That finally, constant searching will end and peace will build a bridge Have no fear, all will be well, and your angel I'll remain Then come the day when you’re ready, God will send that girl for you Know that, the many times our wills would clash, I wanted you to see That, words come easy and are sweet, yet untill you truly love That pain which haunts you still, will ever be I am grateful for the times- good and bad; we saw one another through I wish that you'd give God the chance to love you as you should We'll be forever in each others' heart no matter where we go With all my heart I pray, you find the happiness each soul deserves Should my time here end this day Should the sunshine light up your world no more It'll be my fervent prayer to see you inside of heaven's gate! ~*~ Notew: For Waylayee Whitlock's "If I Had One Last Day To Live" Contest

Incredible poem, Annalise. Taking the time to explain why you drifted apart from your loved one would be an important thing to do on your last day. Never give away your precious soul. If this person allows God to be part of his life, he may indeed see you waiting for him inside heaven's gate! Love, Carolyn
