YOUR LIFE IS OVER
And so, my love, your life is over,
And part of me is glad to see your suffering end.
The pain that you endured in your body,
I shared in the anguish of my mind.
You were so patient, so brave, so accepting what had to be.
You were my comforter, more than I yours.
In all the years we spent together, our last one was the closest.
You made it so eay for us to talk about the past and the future.
Thoughts of a past with you bring joyful memories to mind.
Thoughts of a future without you fill me with despair,
For I must learn a new way of life,
But I will remember how you loved me when you were here,
And know that love lives still.
You too have a life, free from pain,
Resting only in our Lord Jesus Christ, rewarded for your life of service by the presence of our Saviour.
Rest quietly, my love, in your new life,
And I will make a new beginning in this life,
Until we are together again.
