Tears Are Waiting In the Wings

Tears Are Waiting In The Wings

I have to stand and watch your pain,
You struggle on and don't complain,
I cannot think of other things
While tears are waiting in the wings.

I pray for strength to live each day
As we must see you slip away,
We share your anguish at your fate;
Make memories before too late.

The daffodils look bright this year,
The time ticks by, we pause in fear,
We cannot see for moistened eyes,
Awaiting what before us lies.

There is a point to suffering,
It will a sure redemption bring,
It teaches us a message clear,
To cherish those we hold most dear.
