When those we love go away

When those we love go away,they never really leave us;they are with us now, wherever we are.Those whom we have cherished,live on forever, for love wraps itselfaround the heart.Although it’s difficult now,someday beyond our tearsand all the world’s wrongs;beyond the cloudsand all that we can see and touch,we shall all understand.
Vr-06

I’ve lost my life’s companion

I’ve lost my life’s companion,A life linked with my own,You’re still mine to remember,A husband proud to own.Many a tear I’ve shed since I lost you,Many more will continue to fall,You took my happiness with you,The happiest hours of all.Thus shall I walk with youAnd keep the bond that love doth give,Knowing that remembrance,though unspoken,Shall reach you wherever you live.
