​

The sun is slowly fading, it's almost out of sight,

Before to long it will be, the darkest part of night,

I hold your hand and wonder, if you will stay with me,

But I know the truth is, what will be, will be.

​

I know that I will lose you, and only time will tell,

I sit here praying softly, your voyage will go well,

The place that you are going, is wonderful and bright,

You deserve the very best, and God's eternal light.

​

You are the kindest man, that I have ever known,

The time that you were with me, I know that I have grown,

You taught me things so patiently, you showed me how to live,

And now because you loved me so, I have also learned to give.

​

Our memories, how they surround me, as I sit here by your bed,

They take me back not so long ago, to the wonderful day we wed,

We walked down the aisle, with a future we did start,

But unknown to us on that day, I'd soon have a broken heart.

​

Alas, time has slowly healed me, with life I did go on,

 Now I wake up each morning, to a new and wondrous dawn.
