In Memory of Shelly Waters

This poem is for Don Waters, Shelly's Dad

  

  Sitting At The Master's Feet

 

 

O Daddy, weep no more, for your little girl is

At her happiest moment just sitting and holding

Her Master’s nailed scarred hand.

 

O Daddy, it’s so beautiful up here, and Daddy, I’ve been

Sitting at the Master’s feet.

 We’ve talked and talked about many different things.

 Many questions He’s yet to answer

But time is of no essence in this place of love.

 Just sitting at the Master’s feet is enough.

 

 

O Daddy, I saw the tears, as Gina sang my song,

I cried out to Jesus to comfort you til’ you became strong,

And He sent you a flower though Karen you see,

She looked at you with those beautiful laughing eyes of hers,

And smiled as if to say, “Don’t cry Papa, Shelly’s OK,

For she is sitting at her Master’s feet finally at

Peace and fully happy in His loving embrace.”

 

 

 

Oh do not weep and grieve too long for I’m happy

Here at my Master’s feet.

Daddy dear, I do love you so, but just look unto Jesus

For all your comfort and cheer, let Him put His loving

Arms around you and feel His love so dear.

Daddy, Daddy dear, I am so very happy here

Just sitting at my Master’s feet.

 

 

Oh Daddy, it’s so beautiful and peaceful up here,

And Daddy, I’ve been sitting at my Master’s feet.

We’ve talked and we’ve talked about every

Thing dear to me, but yet I’m at peace

And I feel I am finally at home,

sitting at my Master’s feet.

 

 

Idle, I will never be, for my Master’s has the

Perfect job for me; O Daddy, if you could

Only see your little girl now as she basks

In the loving embrace of the Master while

Sitting at His feet.

 

 

Just remember my love for you, and know that

I will be waiting for you on the other shore

When God blows that trumpet for all

We will see each other again and

You too will sit at my Master’s feet,

Basking in His loving embrace,

for all eternity.

 Don,  every time I woke up last night, God was telling

me to write this poem.

I hope I heard all the words correctly, because when I would get up to write it

my mind would forget. But I sat down this morning

and wrote what I felt he was telling me to write.

In His Love and Grace,
