*I sit here alone*.
I wrote this as memories of my Grandmother fill my thoughts today. She was a wonderful Christian lady. I remember her conversations and the prayers she prayed for me as a young boy.
As I sit here and gaze around my room, a life time of treasures
I see, the Clock on the mantelpiece that my mother gave me .when I
And my darling were married.
The gold and the silver, my grandmother’s lace,
I would give it all just to see her face.
A family portrait looks down at me, Sam, Clare and Tim,
Oh and my darling and me. I can still her them now, as I sit here and stare,I see little Tim sitting on his chair, I never go to his room anymore, there’s to many Memories, too many cares.
The gardens looks nice, I like to keep it that way,
for the last rose was planted By sweet darling Clare.
Look at the reds greens and blues, the orange and white’s, we all used to Sit here and watch them late into the night.
But with all the comforts and trappings of wealth, I sit here alone, just memories and me. How I long to be with them, but I can’t turn back years, nothing but memories, and my eyes full of tears.
I’ve out lived my children, and my sweet darling to, it seems just yesterday When they were all here.
I now sit alone and wait for God, Waiting and waiting, just to go home.
Soon I’ll be with them and see them again; never again will I be alone.
Yet when I think of it, I’m not really alone, as I sit here with God in my
quiet Little home. It’s silly of me to even think I’m alone, for God’s with me now as I wait for his words, “Come home my child, my child come home”.

Wow! You brought tears to my eyes, my friend. Sometimes we all feel lonely and it is such a comfort when we know that God is there with us. He sees every tear, He knows every care, He even sits with us through all those lonely nights when we can’t sleep.
