In Dedicated To My Dear Friends; Mary & Jack. For In You My Faith Shall Never Be Slack!
Copyright @ 2004 Brian D Roberts
There Is No Measure To Strength It Seems; For Until You've Seen Death You Do Not Know What It Means!
Others Will Tell You That You Need To Be Strong; But Unless They're In Your Shoes, They Are So Terribly Wrong!
You Need To Cry, To Scream, To Shout, but Most Important Let It Out; For If You Withhold The Pain Within, It Will Leave You Empty, Pale, and Thin!
Your Strength If Any Will Come From God; So Please Do Not Let Anyone Cloud Your Thoughts!
You'll Need All Your Courage To Face What's to Come; So Why Add Another Rung To The Ladder You'll Climb!
Take Care To Make Sure That Your Steps Be Kept Small, So As Not To Fall; Be Careful, and Humble So You Can Make The Call!
Listen Closely To Those Who Love You The Most; But Only From God Will Your Strength Be So Close!
They Make It Sound So Simple, When We Know It Is Not; Death Has Its Tortures, and Is Not Soon Forgot!
So Take Your Sweet Time To Help Out Your Mind; Please, Oh Please, Allow Yourself A Good Cry!
Though You Must Now Wait Until It Is Time; Watch For The Beautiful Soul- Gathering Butterfly!
For Then You Shall Know To Heaven He'll Go; A Place Where We Shall All Meet, Through Love's Peaceful Deep Sleep!
As The Sages Of Old Would Tell You, and I; There Is No Shame In Crying, Nor Drying One's Eyes!
