My wife's sister died on her fifty first birthday. I couldn't help but think of her as I turn 52. Waking Up Forever By Larry Chadwick When I woke up this morning, I was glad that I was still here. Can’t imagine waking up dead, And finding that I was not here. But when I woke up yesterday, My sister wasn’t here anymore. No, she didn’t wake up at all, And we won’t imagine as before. When you wake up tomorrow, Your waking will make my day. Can’t imagine you’re not there, And being as my sister another day. So when I woke up today, I thought of those I’ve known. Those of now and of before, Because of them I have grown. So I long for when we all wake, We will have so much to share. But now when I think of forever, I can only imagine we are all there. Sin isn't fair, but God got even, grace isn't fair either. larry c |
