Lost In Grief

Lost in Grief As is sit here waiting I know not what to do News of your health diminishing I wish I was there for you Family gathering I'm so far away Praying for strength This is what i say... "Dear Lord, heal the sick Give my family peace Put your healing hands on them Help them to be ready We are never ready to let go Much less to say goodbye How can this happen to us? How can we let him die? Please help us to see the obvious That we must let him go Dear Lord, please don't abandon us In this time of sorrow" I sit here waiting Full of grief Not knowing what will happen When I hear the phone ring I pray what ever happens If the Lord decides to take him home That he leaves peacefully without pain And that he gives us the peace we need to accept it and let him go ** this poem is for my cousin who is fighting for his life, and for myself and my family, because we are hurting and we arent ready to say goodbye. :(
