Listen to poem:

Beyond the grave

Don't ask me to rethink this now,
I'm standing at the edge; somehow
Tomorrow won't dawn, I won't be here,
Thankful for a love like yours, is so rare...

A girl like you, a shining light,
I searched life for you, day and night.
Impossible to find; again,
My story ends, but then...

You breathe me in, a final breath,
Escaping the shadow of coming death
I'm yours to keep, the choice is made,
No longer lost, no longer afraid...

Hold on to the promises that I gave,
Words have power, beyond the grave
Talk is cheap, but my feelings run deep,
Remember me tonight, while you're a sleep...
