Love Corrects

We contemplated a future without fear and envy,
and now you're gone;
fear no longer the evils and the burdens of life;
love is stronger than death.

You taught me that life is fair and how to
walk ahead of it, keep my forehead high,
surrounded by your love.
We will live, we will die, triumphant in love;
You and I, without end and without remorse.

We never counted the dangers, faithful heart.
What did the sickness, accidents, and frosts matter?
Neither you nor I tried to correct life's mistakes.
Go now, hand in hand with God, who corrects all.
