It Won't Be Long
by Annie
You said before you died,
that I was the key to your heart.
But the truth is you were mine.
I ask the Lord above,
to answer my prayers.
That you would come back.
But, that wouldn't be fair.
I now know that you're happy where you are.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
without any cares.
But I want you to know,
that I still love you so.
And I'll go on living for Him,
Knowing that His light will never dim.
Someday together we'll be,
But, until then, the Lord will take care of me.
So, keep on watching,
It won't be long.
That from this world,
I'll be gone.
Into your arms once again,
Safe from all the worldly harm.

This poem really touched my heart. I am still grieving the loss of my dear sweet and precious Mom who went to be with the Lord last Jan. 22. My Dad died 5 years ago so they are spending Christmas in heaven this year together. The holidays are rough, a big part of my life is gone but I know where my parents are and they are well and happy. Thanks Marlene
