Still Waiting
Amanda was still waiting for God’s Angel to take her to heaven. God answered her prayer, as she passed away a month later, after she wrote this poem.
Why, Lord, why?
Do I fight so long and hard
Just to gain one inch
And be taken back a yard?
Where, Lord, where
Can I run and safely hide
Just to get away
From this thorn in my side?
When, Lord, when
Will this nightmare ever end?
Waiting for an angel
I’m scared You’ll never send.
How, Lord, how
Do You allow so much pain
When I’m crying out in faith
And You let it just remain?
Who do I turn to
When it feels like You’re not there?
What do I do
When it feels like You don’t care?
I’m still waiting for that angel
But doubt chips away
At a once joyful heart
That longs for that Day
