Inspiration: "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be
absent from the body and to be present with the Lord."  2 Cr 5:8

Even though my eyes are closed
I know that you are still near.
Even though I cannot speak
You can, and I can still hear.

Tell me anything, talk about your day
Better yet, hold my hand-and maybe even pray.

It's almost time for me to go
To leave this shell behind
This disease has destoyed my body
But it did not touch my mind.

Even though my time on earth
Has come to a painful end
I am in the most wonderful place
I am with Jesus, my very best friend.

I went through this with my grandmother, I was very close to her and in her last days I didn't call her as she couldn't hear well and it was a struggle to talk with her. She was in IL and I live in CA...however this poem touched my heart and made me cry, making me realize that I could have just talked to her.....thank you for this.
