I write this verse
Because I know you mourn
The loss of a loved one
So sad forlorn
You were together
For so many years
Now you face the future
Through lonely tears
Don't be disheartened
Remember I care
When all else are gone
I'll still be there
~~~~~~#####~~~~~~
Death is so final
From which you can't come back
Crossing over to the other side
Your thread on life goes slack
What happens next
Jesus gave us a clue
Follow his example
You will live again too
Free of all life's encumbrances
Brand-new life and body
Especially for you and always
Worshipping the one so Holy
~~~~~######~~~~~~~
How did he fare
That day he breathed his last
Did he finally find
Forgiveness in his past
The Lord has said
It's never too late
Come to me and ask
To cleanse my life's plate
So when you finally face him
On the day of final judgement
Remember you have an advocate
With Jesus the incumbent
~~~~~~######~~~~~~
Up until he breathed his last
We weren't sure that he would go
He had been sick so long
He always got well and so
It came as a surprise to me
When he finally went
But which way he did his soul go
I hope it was heaven sent
~~~~~~######~~~~~~
And now you're gone
It's an arrow through my heart
I don't know how I'll survive
Not now that you're departed.
But survive I know I must
Though not looking toward tomorrow
Remembering the good times we had
Tinged with heavy sorrow.
Your mortal life is at an end
And your spiritual life has started
Going on to blaze the way
Now that you're departed.

The preacher said it's over
Your soul has gone away
But he doesn't know our love
How in my heart you'll stay
Though you're gone
I feel you here, though not in the usual way
To your spirit I make this plea
Close by my side please stay.
_________________________________________________________________Sympathy Poems
How many years were we together
How many years did we survive
How many years didn we live and love
How long were you part of my life
And with your parting I will cherish
The time we've spent together
How we promised each other
We'd love each other forever.

Life is so fleeting
Death is so complete
On day, dancing
The next, under someone's feet
I know I'll miss you
Now you're gone
Makes me wonder
How I'll carry on
_________________________________________________________________
Now you're taken from this life
A new journey you have started
This final journey we can't share
Now that you've departed
But ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Remember I love you
On that you can trust.
