I'll Be Waiting

I've been to way too many funerals.

 I'll be waiting for you

When your time is near

At the Golden Gate of Heaven

I'll be waiting, here 

I am never far away

If you keep me inside your heart

Thinking of me always

We will never be far apart 

I'll be with you

In your dreams

And when you're feeling sad

Coming apart at the seams 

I am watching you from below

In the skies of Heaven above

I am always there beside you

Sending you all my love 

When the clock of life stops ticking

I'll be waiting here

At the Golden Gate of Heaven

Beneath the Evening Star

I will always be near

rayne, this is exceptionally touching in its heartbreaking, sad ambience which flows
through the meaning, to ponder the aspects of heaven, and to be waiting for
the soul departed, who is filled with grief and suffering, "i'll be waiting"
this speaks straight to the readers heart, on many levels, its comforting,
yet gently haunting, as thinking eternal thoughts, artfully concieved, beautiful, mike

I lost a family member recently.
This is so heartbreakingly beautiful, touching and sad.
An excellent poem. I won't drag it down with a review that can't do it justice.
