Waiting

Categories: Bereavement, Grief

I’m on my own and waiting
Waiting for a tearless day
It’s only just a few weeks
Since you quietly went away.

A year on I’m still waiting
Waiting for my heart to mend
Hoping soon my smile will be genuine
That I’ll no longer have to pretend.

Two years on the waiting
Is gradually causing less pain
And I am at last accepting
That on earth I’ll not see you again.

Now I look forward with expectant hope
To the day when I will come
To join you in the heavenly home
Where once again we will be one.
All my waiting over and done.
