Love Is Everlasting
He was left to pick up the pieces
when GOD took her from him;
although they parted years ago
her memory is alive within
A promise he had made her
was always on his mind,
even though it's been a struggle
he took it "one day at a time"
Now the time has come
for them to re-unite,
for he's going through a battle
one in which there is no fight
Each day my pain increases
as he slowly fades away,
although a better place awaits
with me, I wish he'd stay
In his mind he sees her
as she patiently awaits,
hoping he will take her hand
to guide him through the gates
Once he crosses over
hand in hand they will be,
no more pain, nor more suffering
for God will have set him free
