Farewell Cp
O, you left without us saying farewell
I know you meant no discourtesy, dear
You were just so eager to go. Each cell
Of your being was homesick being here
Each hour was filled with a longing to know
For we did not just from nothing appeared
But from a veil beyond time came to show
Love's omnipresence in his word declared
I know your dust sleep still where you were laid
And your flesh awaits the sweet trumpet's sound
But the being that's your spirit just wade
Up to heaven and I on Sinai's ground
Still wanders around. I love you, miss you
But will not cry, just long for my city
And the good company. Old loves made new
Farewell then, see you again in glory.
