As thy body draws near must I await
My breath ceases as though I lie still
Through sorrow, you appear to elate
In prayer, this feeble life, for you I will
~~~
Adorn and cherish but leave behind
A world that’s full of pain and hate
To us, they have been the most unkind
In wanting you, my needs will satiate
~~~
For you, I dream, and think to attain
A goal that seeks to reach the saints
In life and death, my soul will remain
Ever so true to you that here I may
~~~
Find the place where I come to rest
With you, in my heart, I feel blessed
