At the Window

As I stare out the window,
my body trembles with fear;
and I know that I shouldn't be frightened,
even though the end is near.

The doctor's words still ring in my ears,
how could this possibly be;
for once in my life I was happy,
this just couldn't be happening to me.

So I pulled myself together,
and I slowly walked down the hall;
how will I tell my children,
that their Mother won't be here this fall.

I'm staring once again out the window,
and I'm listening to the rain;
all I can think of is my children,
and I don't even notice the pain.

How can I possibly leave them,
where will my babies stay;
they'll never understand my leaving,
and traveling so far, far away.

Just give me the courage to tell them,
that their Mother is going away;
and don't let them stay sad forever,
keep them close to you Lord, this I pray........

we all are faced with death at some point in our lives...but our faith will see us through it

I do hope, Janice, that you're not writing about yourself? Please know you are in my prayers. Someone in So California is asking God to bless you supernaturally.

this one makes one think about what we have here on this planet. Life itself is a mere speck in the vast array of the universe and what we can hope for in after life. great piece.
