Waiting

My mum’s last days…

Waiting, waiting, still I’m waiting Finding it hard to concentrate It’s a struggle even sleeping As I restlessly anticipate

Patience, patience, I need patience Providing strength to endure It’s a test of my resilience That I need in good measure

Longing, longing, my heart’s longing Wanting to know God’s perfect peace Trusting in his holy timing Praying for his sweet release

Courage, courage, give me courage Seeing what the future holds Maybe others can encourage As God’s plan for us unfolds

Crying, crying, can’t help crying Days are filled with great sadness But with God’s help we’re trying To now be filled with thankfulness

Memories, memories, happy memories Recalling times we spent together All these many precious treasuries That we can keep forever…
