Left behind again
I know that there is a God above,
Who has taken the ones that I love.
And I keep asking why not me?
But the answer is "Wait and see"
So many have gone on before
And I ask how many more?
Babies and parents, sister and aunts,
Friends and uncles all dressed in fancy pants.
Edna wore her very best dress on that last day
I will always remember her that way.
But up in the Chior she's singing up a storm
High soprano blue, blue eyes and a smile that is warm.
She's with my mom with eyes of lavender blue,
My sister, my babies and my daughter too.
I wonder where my Dad can be?
If Heaven has an ocean he will be at sea.
But Grandma, dear Grandma by the garden gate.
Silently she stands and silently she will wait.
For me to arrive and then at last she will talk,
As down the garden path we walk.
Together at last as a family we'll be
When finally finally at last the Lord calls me.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I so understand.... I lost mom at 4 years old dad at 20 years, uncles and aunts then big sister 2006, her daughter 2008 then my big brother 2011 and now my big sister\'s other daughter is struggling with cancer you can read in my journal starting on Sept 7th. I do look forward to meeting those who have gone across the Jordan. My hope is all my family member\'s have although that is between them and Jesus. God bless you sister. I will pray for you in your grieving. love ya xxxx
I said the 7th of September actually the beginning prayer request starts on the 1st. I had a brain fart. (smiles)
Thank you so much for this. It\'s beautiful. As we grow older we have to part with everyone and everything when the day finally comes and its our turn to go...
How much we appreciate you sharing with us. So beautiful and fills our hearts/ How I wish our EC would read and a light would dawn in their heads. But none are ready for that. Too bad wisdom doesn\'t usually come until later in life. Our ES is 36 and we keep waiting to grow up but I am giving up hope. Thank you again and I will keep it near my heart
