Can you see eternity?

By Wendy Rush.

I saw eternity and you weren’t there and I wept

I couldn’t bear the thought of living my forever without you

Your smile, your laughter, your joy

Would have been my joy always.

 

I saw your life, your struggles, your heartache

And I longed to reach out, to hold you and ease your pain

To heal your broken heart

And put your life back together.

 

I saw what could be your future

A life of purpose, of indescribable joy and hope

A special, unique, important path laid out before you

If you would choose it.

 

I saw a deep dark chasm yawning between us

Separating us, keeping you far from where you belong

You had no way of crossing it

No hope of reaching home alone.

 

I saw eternity and you weren’t there and I wept

So I built a bridge for you to cross

Scarred and blood stained and washed with tears

My scars, my blood, my tears.

 

The pain I went through to bring you home was great

But the pain of losing you, I knew, would be far greater

I couldn’t bear the thought of living my forever without you

So I did it for you.

 

I can see eternity and you are there.
