Last Thing

“In Memoriam”

Last thing
When all is still
The chattering birds lie silent
And sadness tests your will;
Remember I still love you
With every sinew of my heart.

Last thing
Close your tender eyes
Let sleep fill you with calm
Dream of how I caught your tears
In my warm adoring palm;
Remember I still love you
With every sinew of my heart.

Last thing
Though you feel weary
Hear the birds again at dawn
Watch that same bright moon rise up
As it did when you were born;
Then, if dwell you must
How it hurts we are apart;
Remember I still love you
With every sinew of my heart.
