The Battle Won

I am late by a minute

To work hours and hours

As each day passes

Turned into months

Since you’ve been gone.


Oh how time flies

In this agonizing phase

Of waiting and wondering

Tell me

When will you be home?


I’ve been staring into oblivion

Wishing, hoping

That I could be with you

That I could share in your joy

And in your pain.


I know it’s been very hard

To put up this façade

To be away from home

To feel helpless

To see your love one suffer.


But you remain dedicated

Strong and unwavering

Full of hope

Living by faith

As you surrender all your fears unto Him.


You will hear no qualms

Only encouragement

So do not worry

It’s not always about me

For I will be patient.


I am one with you in this

I have seen for myself

My prayers are committed

To the healing

Of mind, body and spirit.


Man has endured well

As he fights the good fight

This battle has already been won

For him

By Him.


He will let you see

He will let you feel

His goodness

His greatness

His love.


He will reveal

And you will understand

You will believe

You will accept

His will be done.
