His hand reached out and she grabbed ahold, her frail body, mind and soul. She heard a voice shouting, “Heaven awaits me behold.” He said no more suffering, that I’ve had enough. I smiled and sweetly agreed. I am tired I said, though it’s hard for me to leave. I’ll miss my true love who has been so patient with me. So I told him before I go I said to thee let me whisper in his ear my dearest Bill, I’ll love you forever and forever it will be until Heaven calls you, I’ll be waiting for you. You just wait and see.
