"While I Miss You"

 

“While I Miss You”

I know you said that you are with me

Every moment of the day

And that you dwell within the very depths of my heart

That you’ve placed reminders of your presence

In all I see, and the words I hear you say

Still there’s something deep inside that misses you

I long to be forever in the presence

of a love that knows no end

That is pure and deep and will never change

To know a time with nothing to hide and nothing to fear

The pure embrace of the love of a friend

To have you touch that something deep inside that misses you

But while I miss you:

There are smiles to be shared

Spaces to fill with laughter

Gifts to be given

Homes to be made

Meals to be enjoyed

Wrongs to be forgiven

Stories to be told

Wounds to be healed

And so much more there is to do…

Here on Earth to see it as it is in Heaven

So give me grace for the times

That I wait here for Eternity

Longing to forever be in the presence of only Love

And give me hope in the times

I see you in the ones around me

Fill that something deep inside that misses you

There are times when we just find ourselves longing for a time when there will be no more suffering because of the sin that is in the world... Yet God calls us on... to reach the world with His love...When we come to a place where we don't know what else to do... And He is not finished with our time here...We realize that there is a place within us that just misses being in the sinless presence of the love of God.
