“The world goes on without us
While we are drifting by...
At peace to go no further
Nor to ask the reasons why.

This time has come so silently
After sharing years with you.
Our love holds us together, 
If our thoughts seldom do. 

Be patient with me, while I am here. 
Laugh with me, and show you care. 
I didn’t choose my ending
But you can help me, dear.

Know most of all, that if I could,
I’d still be there with you. 
Sharing our sunsets together- 
Each one beautiful and new. 

For if life were just the body
We would only see despair. 
But God gives a soul that lives on, 
So precious is His care.”
