What You Left Behind

over the last year...............
watching your body grow tired 
as your mind faded away

what you left behind
a beautiful love who still has so much life to share

what you left behind
with angel eyes you'll watch over her
she knows just how much you cared

what you left behind
a man - your son standing tall and proud
remembering the wisdom of your lessons & 
deep talks 

what you left behind
the aching pains of tired a body
a soul lingering to be set free

what you left behind
memories to comfort family and friends
at our time of need
God knows this day bring much relief
and at the end of your journey you'll have everlasting
peace
