My Nearest And Dearest

Death came and took his breath away. In the early light of dawning. I cannot recall a sadder morning The sky above was dapple grey Blurring my vision, tainting the day. 'They' came to take his body away A flood of salty tears came storming Never was there a drearier morning. With my senses all in disarray, I fell upon my knees to pray. Then came the coffin where he lay. Lilies of pink and white adorning. My head I covered, rain was pouring I thought on the Holy Resurrection, And vision cleared, to face a new day.
