Dear friend

Dear friend

Dear friend, my partnered soul
Our journey ends today
How soon we did grow old
Now here we cannot stay

Long years were once desired
Yet times are changing fast
No more is age admired
No reverence for the past

Dear friend hold tight my hand
Our passing will be swift
We seek the Promised Land
Lord God our Fathers’ Gift

Thank you my beloved heart
For love beyond compare
We promised from the start
Both Life and Death we’d share

Dear friend the deed is done
Two soles entwined in Love
Now that the time has come
Fly free to heaven above.
