Hear Me My Love

Hear me my love
As I lay slowly dying
With my last breath
I whisper 'I love you'.

For eternity you’ll be my 
Only love dear, 
I go to God, He’ll
Comfort me with love.

As I lay here, I see
An Angel waiting
To take me home
My place among
The stars.

Be strong my love
In week's and months 
To follow, 
For I’ll be with you
Walking by your side.

Be patient now
I stand here waiting for you
You’re not alone
I hold you in my love

Until you come
And join me in 
God's heaven
And we can find 
our true eternity.


To be sung to the hymn tune Finlandia. Originally in memory of my late wife Tina, but I also dedicate it to all War Widows.

Thank you, I was misty eyed when I wrote it. Have you listened to the Finlandia hymn on yiou tube, it makes you more misty eyed.
