The Final Mile

Though now I lay you down to sleep

I won't be sad, I will not weep

If the pain I feel shall never cease

The love we had will bring me peace

 

I'll count the memories day by day

Until I too shall pass away

Life's a vapour, a momentary mist

A distant echo the wind has kissed

 

You're the blessing that grew a smile

But now you walk your final mile

And though we pause the life we've known

Be not afraid, you're not alone

 

Tears were made to reflect the pain

The reflection fades, but not the stain

And though you're in a better place

This road is rough that I must face

 

You've heard the words by our dear Lord

"Child enter in to your reward"

So look for me, for in only a while

I too will walk my final mile
