Ready And Waiting-No More Pain Poem by Louise Hillman

I'm ready to leave this Earth dear Lord,
I am ready and waiting for you to come forward.
I am ready for the stresses and pain to go away,
I am ready and waiting for a better day.

I am tired and sad and can't stand the pain,
I am waiting for the King to come and take reign.
I no longer want the depressions of the Earth,
I want peace and happiness, like the world at its birth.

I want the world you've planned for us King of kings,
I'm sick of temptations, hurt, lonliness and sins.
I am exhausted by the Devil trying to kick me down,
my faith is deep-but my body and mind aren't that sound.

I wake up and feel thankful for all that you give,
but just as much; I wake up just not wanting to live.
I am weary of the struggles of money and of living,
and of nothing working out, no matter how much I'm giving.

I am ready to die for you dear Lord, let this be,
If this is what you have planned for me.
Just so I can stand with you-on your right side,
these suicidal tendancies; no-one but you I confide.

I don't want to do it, but the pain I feel is great,
but I know if I do that, I'll not be standing at those gates.
Ready and waiting for you to wrap your arms around me,
and tell me that the pain will no longer be.
