Forever a Family

In another world,

people are waiting.

They sit, wondering

when their gift will come.

This thing they desperately need.

This work they anxiously seek.

But they cannot achieve alone.

I enlist my help.

My mind, my will,

my body, my fingers,

It’s all that I need.

And it’s more than they have.

They simply can’t do it

without me.

This task is not hard.

And every “Thank you,”

from beyond

reminds me of that.

But the greatest reward of all

will be to go back home

to the arms of my Father,

and hear from Him:
“My child,

You’ve brought so many

back with you.

I am so proud.

Well done.”
