Beloved
The love you gave me like golden sunshine;
You kept me safe and taught me ways divine,
My rock when only darkness felt like mine
I pray my hand is still held within thine.
Those days, beloved, when I feel all alone
My eyes can’t see; inside my heart it’s known
You have not left me to be on my own
Yet still I wish to hear you on the phone
And while you lie in omnificent grace
I feel a wayward tear touching my face
Beloved I long to reach out for your hand
Once more beside me where e’er I stand
But I must journey on at life’s command
Until we meet again in the Summerland
Dedicated to my Nan ***
