My Last Good Bye

Dear heart, whose love has been so sweet to know,

That I am looking backward as I go

And even though joyous tears fall like rain,

Mingled there are tears of pain

Though this trips been over long

Yet, still I pause to hear our song

And gladly want to soar up to the sky,

It is still so tough to say good bye.

My body is tired, yet through this pain,

Gladly would I walk this road again.

The air is cold, my breath is still

I’ll meet you there upon the hill.

With loving arms and hands flung wide,

I’ll spend eternity by your side.
