The Final Mile

The Final Mile

A Poem by Whiskurz

Though now I lay you down to sleep
I won't be sad, I will not weep
If the pain I feel shall never cease
The love we had will bring me peace
I'll count the memories day by day
Until I too shall pass away
Life's a vapour, a momentary mist
A distant echo the wind has kissed
You're the blessing that grew a smile
But now you walk your final mile
And though we pause the life we've known
Be not afraid, you're not alone
Tears were made to reflect the pain
The reflection fades, but not the stain
And though you're in a better place
This road is rough that I must face
You've heard the words by our dear Lord
"Child enter in to your reward"
So look for me, for in only a while
I too will walk my final mile

Love it. The words " The final mile " are sad but at the same time gives hope.
