In the arms of God...

Take Me Home
************

So much of me that longs
to be with You up there.
To leave this world behind
and go without a care.

To be wrapped in Your love
and never to look back.
That thought brings so much peace
and joy, it doesn't lack.

Your love means so much more
than what I could find here.
It makes me laugh, makes me cry
and calms all of my fears.

I find it hard to wait
and be stuck in this place.
Please come and take me Home
into Your saving grace.

Inspired by Michael Auguste and my Grandmother [Mary Alice Morgan] - both of which were very sick in 2004 and the whole time I knew them...they always shared and expressed their faith in the Father!  I know they are both resting in peace now and completely happy without the pain and sorrow caused by the people and planet around them.  I look forward to seeing them on the Other Side!!   

[Written Summer 2004]

That was beautiful. You had good flow and good meter. Good flow meaning the words fit. Good write,

Excellent write.

The world is still down here, however, and full of fear, pain, mystery, challenge, endeavour and courage in every day things.

I do feel that same way at times as you have expressed here in your poem. Though I may be left with longing, still, I do find much comfort in knowing that where my loved ones have gone I will go to be with them one day also... God bless and thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. -Bob
