As we weep
Our sweet dearly departed sleeps
Tomorrow when we awake
Our hearts will break
The person we love and cherish will embrace one last goodbye

Our family will never be the same
But we find solace in knowing our dear heart is no longer in pain

What once abode
Now blows in the wind like scattered remains
It's on us now to sustain
The family tree
We are the burden bearers of a long lasting legacy
Who we are, how we raise our children
Now & forever will be remembered in the annals of our family history

The days may never cease
When the tears stream down our cheeks
But if we carry on
Strong enough to tarry long
Despite the hurt and loss we know
Perhaps we can find glimpses of their soul
As we peer through the window of God's glorious and imperious hope
