The Weeping Widow

Who was to know
how that day would go,
You arose before dawn
But it didn't take long
to realize you were gone.

No time to say goodbye,
Even though I was by your side,
Pleading for you not to die,
over and over again, I tried.
Only God knows why
you had to to die,
that day, that way.

Now I lay awake
many lonely nights,
Wondering how much more
I can take,
It's been such a long hard fight.

Just want to close my eyes,
and get lost in my dreams,
Where there are no goodbyes,
And you are still alive, it seems.

As you lay alone in that green pasture,
you can be sure,
Til death we did part,
And in death, we will once again
be one heart.
