In that split second
that you were gone,
with no more the strength
to carry on,
stood broken hearts
around your bed,
as tributes came flooding
and were read,
from well meaning friends,
both new and old;
each one with praise,
a story told.
And so with dignity,
you moved on,
to a better place
where bright sun shone.
A heart stopped beating
that had changed our world.
With arms together,
in grief we curled.
The moment raw,
the pain so strong.
To lose one so trusted
seemed so wrong.
A colossus tower,
a fine example too,
of how to live with dignity
and an open view.
So many traits
of goodness found.
Such praise indeed
from all around.
And now, what now
will the future bring?
As recovery slow
from heartache’s sting.
Each hour, each day
comes with a sigh.
And all that’s left
after your goodbye,
are lingering memories
of one of our own;
so unique, so loved,
always setting the tone.
So until we meet again
across the great divide,
in our hearts and minds
you will reside.
And all you encompassed
with a sense of worth,
we’ll try to carry on,
for you, here on earth.
And when we think of you,
and the times held dear,
on our faces, a smile,
will belie a tear.
And not half as scary
is death’s open door,
knowing we’ll be re-united.
with you, once more.
