In Honour of You
A poem to You Who Will Remain in my Heart
Now You Lie There
So near, yet so far from me
The music swells
The song resounds
In honor of you!
.
You stay with me for a while longer
Then we part forever
The priest speaks of eternity’s words
Weaving you into spirit
In honor of you!
.
We bear you the final way
One rose for each year
On earth
To follow you
In honor of you!
.
My final word to you,
“God’s peace on your journey”
And the car’s red taillights
Quietly fade
In honor of you!
.
It’s done
Your life is complete
We gather where you once sat
Remember your warmth and weep
In honor of you!
.
Now here I sit
You are no more
Hard decisions
Await me without you
Will I make the right ones?
.
To keep you in my heart
Yet still move forward
To hold your memory close
My future a symbiosis
In honor of you!
