Longing For You

I longed for you to know Him oh dear one of my heart to seek true faith and turn from sin and never once depart. Now you are gone and I let go of prayers for your salvation into God’s hands, He surely knows my longing to see you in heaven. I long to see your face the most your warm blue eyes and steady smile your humor and your antidotes your stories and adventures, wild. I longed to see your sweet heart melt to believe, and knew you saw a glimpse of God’s great love and kindness felt I long to see you in His realm exist.
