To Be With You Again

I will not forget

And even at my death

Will speak your name aloud

And with my final breath

Sing forth a note so clear

The heavenly hosts shall hear,

The sky without a cloud

Reveals your image near.

Remembering when we met

Even at my death,

The scented flowers of earth

Not sweeter than your breath.

I have counted out the days

And marked the years that pass

As lilies sang your praise,

Lay long upon the grass

And dreamt of a world to be

Recalled the lives I've led

Throughout eternity,

Then ate with tears my bread.

Knowing grief must go,

Sorrow and biting pain,

I shall will it so

To be with you again.
