death waiting 2 go

Waiting to go
Death
Those who are waiting to go-at the end of your life, feeling no glow.
Those who are waiting for Jesus to come for them-I hope you got everything right with him.
I was at the post office today-and one of my elder friends was having a time making his way.
I notice the pain at the end of life-as they pray for the dimming of their light.
Many walk around without a glow-I ask, are you waiting to go.
Im a elder sitter myself-and I talk with them a lot about death.
Some are at peace with growing old-some have become so cold.
Never smiling as if to frown would keep them here-many don’t want family + Friends near.
Some go into their self-worry themselves to death.
Im not saying all elders are like this-some honor aging as a blessed gift.
I know Ive watch many pass away-some did it gracefully, some hated life each day.
Some are so mean to those who love them-some make life miserable for their kin.
I watched my elders lose their glow-I try to remind them, enjoy the wait as you go.
I tell them about the blessings of God-and how many never live long enough to take part.
Part in the greatest promise to everyone-and that is to pass away, that daughter, that son.
Im going to try to live as best I can-if I live to be a elder woman.
So Many elders stop what life has to show-and are just sitting waiting to go. By: Patricia Robinson-12/10/09-5:30pm
