Loves’s Farewell

In tears I saw you sinking,

I watched you fade away

Like a good soldier on the field

You fought so hard to stay.

I would not wish you back again

Amid this world of care

For God in Heaven had called you home

And I shall meet you there.

I have sadly missed you

In every special way,

But I rejoice in knowing

I’ll see you again someday.

When you slipped into that peaceful sleep

You didn’t go alone

For part of me went with you

The day you left our home.

Though the pain will never leave me

My weakness will grow less

As I find new strength from darkness

In the truth that God will bless.
