I woke up this morning and thought about you,
And wondered how I would do today without seeing you.

I dwell on the negative and what I don’t have,
Instead of the future, to make my heart glad.

I pray to Jehovah to help me to see,
That soon in the future you’ll come back to me.

To not dwell on sad memories that have already past,
But keep busy in his service, so the last days will go fast.

To look forward to the future when you’ll wake up and see,
And wonder for a moment where in the world you could be.

Our home will be waiting, your clothes still all there,
Singing praises to Jehovah we’ll all have a share.

To thank our Dear Father for his wonderful promise,
To see you again, he has bestowed this upon us.

I now focus on the future, and the time near at hand,
And a scripture in the Bible I do understand.

It says we are not tested beyond what we can bare,
We can call on his help because he really does care.

That to test you to the end, was more than you could take,
And his love for you he would never forsake.

What was best for you is what I must remember,
And not dwell on the sad news we got in December.

To focus on the future and seeing you again,
To make sure I’m there and survive till the end.

I love you Dear Mother and soon you will see,
That I did not pass up this opportunity.

To listen to your teaching and find my way,
To a place called Paradise in which we’ll all stay.
