"Still Waiting"

This was written about three weeks after Curtis passed away in 2004. Notice the * and ** that refer back to previous poems or posts.

Still Waiting

I have a wounded heart since Curtis Wayne is gone
But oh, the peace and joy to know that he's still living on

He went to be with Jesus with all his family there

We sang and told him how we loved him, and also had a prayer

*Our life together has been so sweet since he came home from war

*Our children were a blessing as God gave us, not one, or two, but four

Our dreams did unfold as 58 years passed along

The families You gave them made a happy new song

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for fulfilling our dream

I'll see him in heaven, for love was our theme

Good-bye my dear husband, your pains are all gone

And joy fills your heart and it won't be too long

And now I am waiting to be there with you

Dear Jesus, You're my husband and days won't be blue

For I know that You love me and will care for me too

Your promises sustain me when I read Your book

When my heart wants to break, within it I'll look

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for loving me so much

You died for our sins and gave us Your touch

I'll bless You and praise You the rest of my life

I'll serve with Your church because it is Your "wife"

I pray that You'll use the message I've shared

**Because, Jesus, at Your coming I want to "Be Prepared"!!
