Waiting
Here I am at the cabin, with a splendid
view,
where all the loud city noises, are
hushed for a few.
So peaceful, so quiet, not a sound
can be heard,
but the soft gentle voice of a singing
bird.
Off for the weekend, time to enjoy
some quiet space,
I called you up and asked you to
meet me, at our place.
You seemed surprised, but said "I'm
on my way,"
I can't begin to tell you, how happy
I am today.
I'll put on my best face, and wear
that silk lacy gown,
I know it's your favorite, and I'll
let my hair down.
I'll fix your favorite meal, the
one you like most,
bacon and eggs, and two pieces of
toast.
I'll have a nice fire going, so when
you arrive,
you can kick back and relax, from
that long hard drive.
We'll cuddle and snuggle, we'll laugh
and we'll sigh,
I can't wait to see you, I'm flying
so high.
Why does the weekend, seem to rush
by so fast,
sometimes forever, I want it to last.
It gives me more time, to enjoy being
with you,
here in the cabin, with this wonderful
view.
You should be coming soon, I just
can't wait,
any minute now, you'll be driving
up through the gate.
My heart is racing, I can't help
it, I'm happy,
you make me feel wonderful inside,
I know I tend to get sappy.
Time keeps on ticking, and I feel
you so near,
it's unlike you to be this late,
where are you my dear.
I suppose my imagination, has the
better of me,
I know you are coming, I just can't
yet see.
In the silence I hear the sound of
a horn blaring,
you're warning the deer, you're always
so caring.
You'll be here soon, I'm all flustered
and such,
I can't wait to see you, and feel
your touch.
Soon I'll have your arms around me,
holding me tight,
as the sun fades in the west, and
comes up again so bright.
The eagerness mounts, deep inside
my soul,
oh yes soon, we will be as one, whole.
I can't wait to tell you, this news
so great,
I wish you'd hurry up, why are you
running late.
I should have told you last month,
while we were here together,
but I wanted to make sure, so I waited
for the letter.
I know you'll be happy, this will
make you smile,
you'll be jumping with joy, all the
while.
I already know what you're going
to say,
"Oh baby, I'm so happy, you've made
my day."
Then you'll kiss me and hug me, and
hold me some more,
and we'll dance on a cloud, across
the hardwood floor.
Then you'll ask me direct, but just
a little bit coy,
"Do you know if it's a girl, or a
little boy?"
I'll shake my head no, and say, wait
and see,
you'll say you don't care, as long
as it's healthy.
Oh I just can't wait to tell you,
you're going to be thrilled,
our dreams and desires, will soon
be filled.
Well at last you've arrived, I hear
a car door close,
I run and look in the mirror, and
strike a happy pose.
I straighten my gown, and let down
my hair,
the ambiance is wonderful, in this
sweet country air.
Now what's taking so long, for you
to come on inside,
are you being silly tonight, and
waiting for me to hide.
We've played that game, oh so many
times,
and neither of us a loser, always
a winner in our minds.
I dash to the bedroom, so quick and
silently,
I'm hiding my sweet one, come in
and find me.
I'm waiting, come find me, I'm giggling
with glee,
a knock on the door, you must have
lost your key?
My heart beats faster, as I race
across the floor,
you'll have a silly grin on your
face, when I open the door.
You'll be apologizing, for making
me wait for hours,
as you hand me, a big bunch of flowers.
I pull open the door, with a big
wide grin,
but there stands Sheriff Tom, and
his deputy Ben.
I swallow hard and fast, as I choke
back the fear,
then down my cheek, slides a tear.
Sheriff Tom says, "evenin' ma'am,
hate to be so direct,
but your husband Jim, was in a car
wreck.
Pretty close in fact, just up the
road a spell,
and this is the worse news, I ever
had to tell."
"Seems Jim swerved to miss a deer,
and lost control,
and three or four times, his car
he rolled.
He was thrown out, but not clear,
of all the debris,
a freak accident ma'am, you have
my sympathy."
"Oh one last thing ma'am before we
retreat,
we found this here package, under
the seat.
No name was on it, or anything of
that kind,
we had to open it, I hope you don't
mind."
I took the package, trembling and
shaking,
my world had ended, my heart was
breaking.
Then off they drove, into the night,
leaving me alone, with these tears
to fight.
I looked at the package, this small
tiny thing,
then opened it up, to find a ring.
Engraved inside, from you to me,
"I love you honey, Happy Anniversary!"
The tears sprang forth, I couldn't
stop then now,
oh Lord help me, some way, somehow.
Bring my Jim back, it's just not
fair,
I need him so badly, I need his care.
I want to tell him the news, I've
waited to say,
until the right moment, that was
today.
I want to feel his fingers running
through my hair,
I need him Lord, I've got too much
to bare.
I know you needed his help, or you
wouldn't have taken him away,
but I just don't understand, why
you had to do it today.
Why me Lord, why did you take my
Jim,
can't you see and understand, I really
need him?
Well Jim, months have passed now,
and I found your note,
always thinking of me, it showed
in what you wrote.
As I kneel here, upon your grave,
I know in my heart, I have to be
brave.
It's just I miss you badly, I want
to hold you so tight,
I sometimes wonder if I can make
it, through another long night.
It's so hard at times, when I feel
so alone,
my heart breaks into, I want you
back home.
I'm glad you suspected, and knew
right away,
we were going to be parents, it helps
me get through the day.
I wish so badly, that you could be
here,
to hold me tight, and wipe all my
tears.
We have a handsome, strong little
boy,
he looks just like you, he's an absolute
joy.
He's cute as can be, his hair has
some curl,
oh yes, by the way, we also have
a sweet little girl.
She has my blonde hair, and my eyes
of blue,
but my darling Jim, she looks so
much like you.
God gave us two blessings, to make
your absence more bearable,
but I miss you my darling, so much,
something terrible.
Just knowing you knew, you were going
to be a Dad,
does put a smile on my face, even
though my heart is sad.
Well babe, I'll go now, so you can
do what Angels do,
I just wanted to stop by and say,
how much I love and miss you.
As the days pass by, and time moves
along,
look down on little Jimmy and Kaitlin,
and send them a song.
I'm waiting to tell them, about the
most wonderful man,
who reached out one day, and took
my hand.
Keep us in your thoughts, if just
for a minute,
you're always on my mind, and in
my heart you are in it.
Don't ever forget, how much we love
you,
oh my darling Jim, how I do miss
you.
It's Sunday here, I hear the church
bells ring,
you know that's a sign, another Angel
has earned their wings.
I keep waiting for you to say something,
maybe just a sigh,
babe, I need you to watch over me,
from way up there in the sky.
