Heartbroken, I Stand Here So Strong

Heartbroken, I Stand Here So Strong Heaven has demanded your return I've only ashes in this urn From golden halls, flies our love song Heartbroken I stand here so strong. You were my angel, love divine In those flown yesterdays, so fine I was lost, singing my sad song, Heartbroken I stand here so strong. Your loving heart gave mine soft beat Dark world became tender and sweet I left life's weeping morose throng Heartbroken I stand here so strong. You came, darkness melted away An angel that taught me to pray In hope's purest joy we belong Heartbroken I stand here so strong.

Thank you my friend. Great sorrow and adversity in life can and oft does build in one greater strength. I've had so much of that and truly was lucky to have survived into old age. God bless...
