At Deaths Door

When they have a short time to live And you’ve given all you can give. When there s nothing more you can do. Then you make the last days of their lives Seem like it’s been paradise. Show all the love that you’ve had locked up inside This is something that you should not hide. Bring up happy memories of times gone by, and of moments shared. These are things in their mind that last. Make their lives as comfortable as can be For this is the last thing that they will see. For some it is not easy to pass to the other side Because fear makes them blind. But it is a place of love and light They will not see the darkness of night. Don’t show your love when they are dead Show your love while they’re lying in that bed. They need to be loved while they’re here on earth This is what we crave from our birth. If the brain still functions on its own Then so does the heart. And from you they do not wish to part. They are thinking the same as you When they’re gone, what are you going to do. Any bills that may be left behind On your shoulders they will climb. these same thoughts may race through Your head, and it’s something that you both do dread. But these are the first thoughts that Should be put into that grave Give them happy memories that they can save. Let them go to the other side comfortably And on their face- that smile you’ll see. We’ll all be going to that other side And will need someone to welcome us there And the love that you showed on earth Will now be shared.
