As you sit and ponder life
Allow yourself to think
You realize your world has changed,
Was altered in a blink.
The day started so normally
As you got out of bed
You never would have given thought,
To what lay just ahead.
Just yesterday, all things were well
You frolicked on the lawn
Now just one short day later,
The one you love is gone.
As you pause and run your hands
Over clothes they wore
Cleansing tears of sadness fall,
And then they fall some more.
Tears are good, they help to heal
Every broken heart
For it is just a short time,
That you will be apart.
For each of us will travel
To that distant shore
To again be reunited,
In glory, evermore.
So at this time, this time apart
Just know that they are near
A gentle breeze will touch your face,
It's them, drying your tear.
When you see that butterfly
At times your feeling blue
Just know, believe, the one who's gone
Is close, right next to you. |
