Why Leave So Soon?
My darling girl, why leave this world so soon
when brilliance of your sun has not reached noon?
My precious girl, why did you say goodbye?
In bloom of youth, you were not meant to die
Your smile could charm the angels up above
Your words were soft and gentle, filled with love
Your eyes could sparkle brighter than a star
Why take the hand of Death and travel far?
When you were here, we longed to be near you
There was a sweetness there and comfort too
Your presence filled our hearts with happiness,
for in your soul resided tenderness
God loved you, so He spared you tears and woe
You're safe within His arms, this much I know!
This world has nothing more than pain to give
When Christ returns, eternal life you'll live
You are at peace; we are the ones in strife
Who'll take the place of daughter, sister, wife?
The burden of your loss is hard to bear
We miss your warmth and tender-hearted care
But Death will one day die, and we will see
you rise in glory, Queen of Victory!
On Resurrection Day, in warm embrace
we'll hold you close and kiss your angel face.
