Thinking of You

thinking of you

i held your hand as you crossed that bridge

into that unknown realm

and i knew because i felt your peace

that God was at the helm

we had anguish, we had pain

‘twas so hard to let you go

but e’en though you have departed

our love and flowers doth still grow

you left behind a legacy

the children know of it well

and we remember so vividly

that day your body fell

the suffering for you was taken

we sing and we are pleased

that through the love of love it’s self

all pains will one day cease

we shall march on for’ard for the cause

for which you lived, you died

the tears of heaven anoints our souls

for you gave, you lived, you tried

we are thank-filled for the lesson

your Soul left us to sing

and now that your mission is complete

you’ve re-adorned your wings

thinking of you.
