Waiting For The Angels

She sits by her window Day after day All alone just looking Nothing much to say She is in the golden years Of a long and wonderful life Looking back over the years She loved being his wife She recalls very vividly They were such happy years Filled with love and laughter Once in a while a few tears Yes, there were some hard times Which all people had But through it all we survived That always made us glad Raising the children Running the home They were the happiest years Her heart had ever known As the children grew older Soon they both moved on Before they both it It was just him, her and the farm As the years passed he grew sick Each winter he got worse For the first time in her life When she spoke, she would curse Damn him getting sick Damn him leaving me alone Alone in this aging house That once was a happy home She says, I'm waiting for the angels To come and take me home These last twenty years Have been the loneliest I've ever known The house now sits empty Her children too busy to care The house just deteriorates As no one is living there The shutters and the window Are all cracked and broken The wind howls through the house Where words of love once were spoken She's in her final resting place By her husbands side A woman so very strong A woman filled with pride 5-25-06/RjH
