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.
