Tears fall, they just won't end br It seems my aching heart will never mend. br Any joy inside quickly dies br As I realize soon you will depart from my side. br From this earth you cannot leave just yet br My mind then fills with lifelong regrets. br I need you to stay here with me br I hold your hand tight as I plea. br But soon embrace your peaceful expression br And realize your life could never be measured br With anything other than love so true br Love that touched all of whom you knew. br All the ones you loved so very dearly br And even the ones you met just briefly br Happiness and inspiration you always brought br Fairness and kindness you always sought. br And now as we sense your days coming to a close br Where you go from here we all know, br The place where the Lord will be delighted to see, br The wonderful human He made perfectly. br In His arms He will hold you forever br In His arms fear will touch you never. br You will live in unending peace br As I imagine this, it becomes bittersweet. br Because I know you have completed the tasks br That the Lord of you so graciously asked. br No more will this world cause you pain br Soon we will be reunited once again. br Death is not easy, but a natural part of life br Just like love, happiness, trials, and strife. br I know over me your eyes will look down br And I will feel your love all around. br Sadness like joy will come and go br But the love I have for you will continue to grow. br Tears fall, they just won't end br But I know my aching heart will one day mend.
