From here to eternity, seems to be coming too slow,
My bags are all packed and I’m ready to go.

At 101 I’ve seen all I need to see,
Ain’t nothing left here still a holding me.

My family’s all gone and this music’s too loud,
And I’m worn of this place with the wheelchair crowd.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I still love all that I can,
But I’m tired of living on this worldly health plan.

You see Jesus my Savior is there waiting for me,
With my loved ones and new body I can’t wait to see.

And I long to hear those words of “well done,”
My good and faithful servant, come and join the fun.

Though I became a follower of the Christ kind of late,
He has never failed to assure me he has reserved my date.

So please don’t wake me should I sleep for too long,
The anticipation has ended, and I’m singing a new song.

From here to eternity is finally here at last,
And that world that I lived in, wow, did that ever go fast.

This is lovely and the rhythm and rhyme something with just a touch of humor.

I loved your poem. It was light and filled with all our desires of spending eternity with Jesus. Like you I can't wait although these aged eyes of mine are seeing things I never thought possible.
