We often lay awake at night
   While others are asleep
No one knows our sorrow
   No one hears us weep
It's been many long years 'now'
   Since God took you's away
'But' We still feel your presence
   And 'that is' every day
May the 'wings of love' blow gently
   And 'whisper' for you's to hear
For we shall always love you's
   And forever hold you's dear
We know what's in our hearts
   And 'that's' coming from above
That you 'both' showed courage and compassion
   And you 'both' showed loyalty and love
We may be far apart now
   And not be able to touch
For we can only 'feel' and 'say'
   We loved you's very much
In life we loved you's dearly
   In death we'll do the same
So stay in our hearts and memories
   Until we meet again
                                    Amen
