The Final Mile

Though now I lay you down to sleep I won't be sad, I will not weep If the pain I feel shall never cease The love we had will bring me peace I'll count the memories day by day Until I too shall pass away Life's a vapour, a momentary mist A distant echo the wind has kissed You're the blessing that grew a smile But now you walk your final mile And though we pause the life we've known Be not afraid, you're not alone Tears were made to reflect the pain The reflection fades, but not the stain And though you're in a better place This road is rough that I must face You've heard the words by our dear Lord "Child enter in to your reward" So look for me, for in only a while I too will walk my final mile
