While We Wait- A poem written for a friend as she was taking care of her sister.

[ModKatB]

While we wait for this journey to end, we just wanted to tell

you how much we love you.

While we wait, we wish we could take some of your pain away.

While we wait, you will need to forgive us if we try to hard to

make things right.

While we wait, we want you to know that we would give anything

we had if we could make this go away.

When this journey is over, we won't shed tears because your pain

is over. We will be crying for us because we are going to miss you.

When this journey is over, those who have gone before us will

be waiting at the gates of heaven to welcome you home.

When this journey is over and your spirit is free to fly we will

gather together and celebrate your life. Knowing that one day

you will be waiting when it is our turn to be welcomed home

at the gates of heaven. KB
