Take Her Home

Time is slowly coming to an end Unsure of what is around that next bend Awaiting for the final curtain call Body tired of juggling so many different balls Knowing that everything has been fulfilled and done Rewarding was the journey - although not always fun Everything she had hoped to have done for now Accomplished miraculously somehow Happy memories locked deep in her heart Loved ones will always hold a special part Each day her heart cries out what seems in vain Wanting the chance to end this never ending pain Reaching out to anyone she may love Wanting her soul to be free like a beautiful dove How she prays silently inside every night This suffering and torment she endures is not right Misty eyes she looks up the great blue sky All she can mutter inside is "Why God Why" Every day she faces a world unknown to her alone Her husband of 50 years has passed on before her now She longs to join him someway somehow Tired of being alone and in pain for so many years Lord there is only one way to dry her tears Her life has been full and journey long In your Kingdom she know belongs Call her home and let her rest now Although she will be missed - we will carry on somehow

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
