This was a polite way to describe "waiting for when the time ends". The meaning was understood and your wording was in a kind way stating thanks but also accepting what the future brings. This brought out numerous feelings for the reader-acceptance, anxiety, and thanks. You did a wonderful job piecing this together and the rhyme scheme fit well.

This is an interesting poem. I believe that you are going to Heaven because you are a good guy. I believe I am going to Heaven also. It was fun reading your poetry. You inspire me to write better poems. Exceptional work!

Jay,
This is a well written poem in a sonnet format. I like the idea of crossing the Jordan from life to death. Your doubts about your life and nearing death are probably shared by most who feel death is near.
Keep writing and stay heatlhy
Joan

What a lovely way to express a melancholic yet joyous step in our life's journey. I love how much you always seem at peace in your writing. It gives me such hope.

You are a fountain of class and grace, Jaybird. I hope you are not facing death now, as inevitable to all of us as it may be. I wish you all the best, my friend! Best, JohnC

A beautifully penned poem. After nearly two years of reading your work, I know this about you. You have a strong faith in God to take you home, but only when the time is right. At 97, you can still offer your readers so much love and wisdom in your poems.
Blessings
Mary

Your poem is excellent in every respect--well-written, moving, and powerful in its message. I know I'm going to Heaven, but that doesn't mean I have no dread or fear of death. This poem, I feel, will resonate with whoever reads it.

Another beautiful moving and touching poem and testament to your love of your dearly loved wife. Perhaps you could add 'yet, wonder what's on (the) other side.' Other than that, perfect and beautiful, good health and best wishes kindest regards Kevin.
