miles

Just hours ago I was waiting, watching people mill around. A friend’s flight was coming in- only moments before the plane touched down. Suddenly passenger streamed toward loved one’s embraces. Amidst this scene my heart was screaming- as I saw the joy on all their faces. They said, “My darling, my loved one. I’ve missed you while you’ve been gone. How are you doing? It’s good to see you. You know it’s been too long. Don’t ever leave me again- it always tears my heart up… whenever we’re miles apart.” My time is coming. I’ll be packing up and leaving. It’s time to start my own life. Where am I going? It’s only God’s for the knowing. I wait and wait for His time as my future He’s weaving. He knows my plans, my career, my children and precious wife. When He brings these to me, maybe then I’ll hear them say, “My darling, my loved one. I’ve missed you while you’ve been gone. How are you doing? It’s good to see you. You know it’s been too long. Don’t ever leave me again- it always tears my heart up… whenever we’re miles apart.”
