The Promise of Tomorrow

The Promise of Tomorrow

We walked the path of this life,
Hand in hand, heart to heart,
Joined as one, Husband and Wife,
Until we had to part.

Death is a curious idea,
My love for you is very real,
It pains me to live without you near,
It’s something time will never heal.

Now my darling, I close my eyes,
and imagine your smiling face,
as my spirit flies towards the skies,
and I’m reunited with you in grace.

No one could truly be mourning,
If they just knew how grateful I am,
I’m with you and it’s like a summer’s morning,
Joined forever, woman and man.

I look briefly at the ones who have to live on,
In the world of trials and strife, 
b
ut I know you’ll be fine, you won’t go wrong,
You too, will leave this life.

Do not be down, 
don’t you frown,
let go of your sorrow
because soon there’ll be a glorious sound,
and a promise of tomorrow!
