You were love
You gave love
You were joy
You gave joy
You were peace
You gave peace
Earthly life complete
Testimony standing sure
No hurt, no pain
Will you ever have to endure
If this be my only comfort
Allow it be my anchor
For all eternity
Tag dying
Sudden Death
I heard my
Mother’s voice
During the week
Of an April past.
On the weekend
She was gone,
That is how
Very sudden
Death can be.
