[hometext] => I wrote this poem for my wife's 100 year old grandmother in the nursing home, as she kept asking why she just couldn't die. Please read and comment as I am new at writing poetry and could really use the feedback.
[bodytext] => Oh why Lord do I linger so As I find to purpose you know All I ponder is what I've lost and dwell On the you'se - ta - coulds and can't - no -mores I recall so well But nothing present is fun for me As I can no longer hear or see Well dear Grandma my gift to thee Is for you to ponder Me For in my presence all makes sense As I am the way to eventual peace and rest So worry not about life as is Rather the promise of what to come is His The glory and promise that awaits you dear Is His peace and love so have no fear In Heaven all suffering is left behind And a glorious reunion you will find So worry not about what's missing today For tomorrow all the answers will come your way Why me, you ask me again and again But no answer comes from within Perhaps you need to accept That there are always secrets that are kept So trust in me that your time will come you see But dear grandma a surprise it be from Thou to Thee [comments] => 2 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 62 [informant] => Willofree [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )
