When a loved one leaves your side you grieve.
“I cannot live without them!” you believe.
Oh, how your brain it does deceive,
For your loved ones truly do not leave.

Life is but a journey of the soul,
Which in essence always will be whole.
When death comes, the bell may toll,
But only for the end of this one role.

Turn your thoughts now to the heart,
That with a death feels torn apart.
It is there that you will find love’s piercing dart,
And know that this is how it all did start.

When that love did come to you,
Did your life not seem brand new?
And now that they are gone from view
That very love will see you through.

For though the form may go away
It’s the memories that never stray.
And the love you shared from day to day
Now in the dark will light your way.
