Like a thief in the night
You have come to steal my life
Dark death, enemy of light
Spare my children and my wife
Oh Lord please keep my family alive
It is for them that I strive
I'm ready to go to the world beyond
Ready to depart from them that am fond
To behold the mysteries untold
To behold the mysteries yet to unfold
My soul belongs to You
My love for You is is true
I have said the prayers I remember
I can see the horizon now, glowing like a bright ember
My life and soul I surrender
Wrap me in your arms, so mild and tender
Take me home to the greater unknown
Take me with you that I may be your very own
My heart beats for my most beloved son
O dear John your loving Dad is now gone.

Never let their words
Bring your vibes down
Never let their thoughts
Bring your face a frown
Dear writer, be strong
They know how it may look
But never what it took
They may dry your tear
But never do they care
Dear writer, be strong
Tho they view your status
They know not your status
Tho they be your friends
They know not you heart trends
Dear writer, be strong
Be strong
To write your poem or song
Be strong
To prove them wrong
Be strong
Be strong
To dry your own tears
Be strong
To face your own fears
Be strong
Be strong
O dear writer
Let your spirit
Be that of a fighter
Stay focused
And never tire
May your dreams
Take you higher
