I cannot
understand
where the sadness
came from
and
where it hides away.
To
creep out, to consume
when happiness
fades
goes away.

I have heard your voice
Felt your gentle soul
Know your touch is
What I feel
When soft breezes blow.
I don’t need to see you
For I know you’re near
Holding me close forever
Forever, my sweet love
My sweet dear.

No one seems to know
nor do they understand
the way to heaven
is always open
That
it’s there
Always
at their command.

You are with me
I feel you near
you will be here
til
the angels call you to them
Can you hear?
I touch your lips, your hand
I see your eyes
they’ve become distant
in their gaze
I’m sure
they don’t see me
standing here
Lie in peace
lay down with love
for we’ll keep you in our hearts
we’ll keep you near
til our time too has come
Oh my sweet
sweet dear.
