Oh body torn with age and grief
I lay here waiting, for my release
An angel sits with waiting arms
But, I wait, till those words are said

Years of shame and guilt and anger
Reeked my soul for all this time
All I need, is those three words
Enabling my souls, journey to end

My children's eyes are blurred with tears
They sit beside me in silent prayers
My angel stands in readiness to go
He takes my hand, my soul must follow

I look down at the shell on the bed
My heart is heavy, my soul is drained
Before those Gates that I must enter
I hear this whisper, those words I wait

We forgive you......Mum

I sit alone on my kitchen chair
while September gales blow outside
And I wonder if you're there
standing by my side

I often wonder if it's true
that you are everywhere
When there is so much wrong
around the world here

I wonder if you have forgotten us
and left us in despair
Will you come back
when we learn to care

You took my dear parents
when they were only young
Having served you all their lives
why take them up there

I know they share your heaven
but for just once more
I'd just like to tell them
I love them for ever more

You have given me my children
and my Grandchildren too
But sometimes I'd like something
that I might wish for

I know you don't take requests
but you listen to every prayer
I'd like just a small portion
Of your happiness to share

I was feeling a little lonely Lord
So forgive my doubting you
I promise to live my life
in your constant care

Where are you Lord ? 

I sit alone on my kitchen chair
while September gales blow outside
And I wonder if you're there
standing by my side

I often wonder if it's true

and left us in despair
Will you come back
when we learn to care

when they were only young
Having served you all their lives
