My Loss

My Loss

 

I'll remember the moment I hear

The one I love, held most dear

Always there for me, now no longer here 

Guess life's not fair

 

It pains to lose the one I care

A loss as this, how do I bear

I look in the mirror, continually stare

Missing you my dear, wishing you were here

 

A life well lived, now nothing to fear

Faced your final moments as few would dare

Sound of your voice still rings in my ear

Reminds me to press on, live with prayer

 

I knew this fateful moment would come

When from this life you will depart

Now only memories, awash my heart

You gave it all, nothing you spare

Guess that's life's lessons, beware

 

For all the love you had 

An enemy much stronger

Has seperated us, yet Another Love 

Much Stronger will unite us again 

 

Lessons you taught me I'll carry on

Such love and devotion, my dearest one

Next to God, you were my everything

I'm left to live, to remember, to think

 

A life is filled with hills and vales

Yet to drink of your stream, never fails 

A lifetime you lived, I'll never prepare

The loss I feel, not having you here

 

One day we'll meet over there

In a place where life blooms

No more pain, death; joy for gloom

Where there's nothing to care

Love's so common, it's all we share

 

In the mean time I'll keep on living

We'll meet over there, in a land so fair

Amidst eternal flowers, that perfume the air

With joy we'll say to each other, "we are finally here!" 

Our gain.
