Bereavement

Bereavement


Press not my lips with befallen heart inside
Glance not my way with moistened eye
Walk with me in a tiger’s stride
Lay with me as eagles fly

Cherish true love as angels do
Embrace me as a lover and friend
Tomorrow breathes life anew
Waste not this day ruing its end

Besiege the night to quell your fear
Greet the morning reborn
Hold our memories ever near
From your heart let love never be torn

Waste not your sorrow or wroth
Nor retrace the path traveled
Dance through life as a moth
Be proud as a tapestry still unraveled

Let time not pass misspent
Nor let grief put you asunder
Remember what our love has meant
Recall the nights of thunder

Press not my lips with befallen heart inside
Glance not my way with moisten eye
Walk with me in a tiger’s stride
Lay with me as eagles fly
