In Memory

In Memory

I’ve stood there too
On that lonely road
When someone near has died.
I’ve stood there too
With an ache in my heart
With the pain – and I have cried.

I stand with you
In this time of pain
It hurts me to see your sorrow
I stand with you
In your time of need
And pray for a bright tomorrow.

The void that the death of a loved one leaves
Is the space that can never be named.
The pain in our chest at the time of the death,
Is the love that remains unclaimed.

Time is the healer
And God is the cure.
We know not what is in store,
But rest assured,
Those gone on before
Stand in peace at eternity’s door.
