Soon and Very Soon

God’s desire
Our mission - to cling to Him
and not become distraught,
seeking escape
from difficult circumstances faced.

Tired and so weary
We lay upon our pillow,
praying.
Won’t You please take me home?
Why am I still here?

Cling to Me He says
Cling My Child
and as you cling, sing praises
thanking Me
for every blessing bestowed
given then
given now
given later

Your room
not yet ready
You are needed
where you are
Do not question
the whys and whens

Just soak in My goodness
Be content to bask in the Light of My Son
and soon and very soon,
You will be in the
Almighty Presence of My Unending Love.

Dedicated to my adopted mommy, Anna, on her 105th birthday.
