I Waited
Terry Price Kimmel


I waited with you while the news of the storm began. You patted my head and told me not to worry, let’s wait and see.

I waited while you packed up what you could from the house and put away all the belongings.

You told me to wait just a while, let’s watch the TV.

I waited for you to say let’s go when they said we all had to leave.

I waited when they told you I couldn’t go with you. I sat and watched you go.

I waited from the window while I saw you drive away, you looked back at me and said “Wait out the storm, I’ll be back.”

I waited.

I was so thirsty I drank only the water that was there waiting for me, rising above me.

I waited while boats and people and helicopters went by and asked if there was anyone waiting to be saved.

I did not reply. I knew others like you were waiting longer than me.

I waited while my stomach grew thin and sore longing for food and full of toxins but hoping any moment that someone would stop ....and tell me that you were waiting for me.

I waited while I heard others like me... wailing, swimming in dark waters or tied up burning in the hot sun.

I dreamt someone would bring me to you, waiting for me.

I waited. ..While my aches grow to pain beyond recognition but I wanted you to know I was waiting for you.

I tremble and wait for death now because anything else would be too much to bear.

But I will wait for you forever.

I will wait for you in Heaven.

Stuff like that always breaks my heart. Because it's so true...

That made me tear up... i need to go give my boys a big hug...

Just imagine what happened to the wild animals too, it took its toll on all living beings there.....

I am so glad to see them bouncing back tho!!
