When You Rise

To my Mother and Father who have passed away

When You Rise

In the silent twilight you went to sleep deep

It is a memory that I will always keep

When you rise will you remember me

Will you recall the way that things use to be

The good times in the beginning we had

Or will you only remember the end, the bad

For not let the last days bring to ruin the first

Please do not only recollect the worst

To you only a fleeting moment will have passed

To me for an eternity it will have last

When you rise will you want to stay

When you rise to a brand new day

Will you listen to your head and leave

Will you look in your heart and believe

Will you see my love when you gaze in my eyes

Will you still love me when you rise
