"Before"

             "Before"

 

Before these eyes in final rest

Do lay me down to sleep.

May God grant me the time

For final destinys...to keep.

 

Before all of my days are over,

When life's work is finally through;

May there be many long hours...

Spent in love and bliss with you.

 

Before time flies, on fleeting wings,

In its hurry...to lifes... end;

May this heart be full of your love,

Time and then time...again.

 

Before the dark grey mist rolls in,

Covering life, as it has been;

Let love have known complete bliss,

As this life... comes to its end.

 

Before seeing...the Master's face,

As He calls... all of His home;

Let your love...fill me so full,

That I will never... feel alone.

 

Before all of the teardrops... fall,

And warm dirt is piled...over me;

Look once again, with eyes of love,

May your face be the last thing I see.

 

After the angels... escort me Home,

Please think of me...now and then;

Know in your heart I loved you so,

Remember me...but...do find love again.

 

Now and then let me cross your memory,

Let your thoughts go back... to time spent with me...

 

And know..."I loved you."

Very heartfelt and sincere. Excellent

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Very well written. Even after death you long for your love to be happen and move on, but don't want to be forgotten!

[Patches I'm not so new..]

zounds this sounds like a durge one that is the final song of a condemed person
wheither condemed by disease or other matter. Can't say I like this too sad but nonetheless well written
