TO THE OTHER SIDE
I RAN AND PLAYED
AGAIN, I'M YOUNG
MY MASTER LETTING GO AT LAST
KNOWING MY TIME HAD COME.
HOW HARD IT WAS TO PART
OUR HEARTS BEATING IN TIME
THE CORD OF GOD, LOOSED AT LAST,
LOVE FLOWING, OUR LIVES UNENTWINED.
IN DOC'S KIND CARE
A PRAYER IS SAID
TO GUIDE ME ON MY WAY
WHILE MY FRIEND STANDS NEARBY
A WITNESS TO THIS DAY.
THE PRICK OF THE NEEDLE
THO PAINFUL BE, IS DONE
MY HEART STOPS ITS BEAT,
USHERING ME HERE, WHERE FREE
OF AGING FLESH,
OF GRAYING EYES-
THE HEAVINESS OF ME.
SO MOURN, MY FRIEND, FOR A TIME
BUT KNOW I HAVEN'T GONE
FOREVER FROM YOUR SIDE
AND AS YOU WORK, YOU'LL
STOP A WHILE
RECALLING TIMES WE SHARED
AND LIPS IN SMILE
AND MIND ON ME
WE'LL JOIN AGAIN IN PRAYER.
BE SURE MY FRIEND,
WHEN BODY FAILS
I'LL GREET YOU ON YOUR PATH
WE'LL WALK AGAIN, SIDE BY SIDE,
OUR HEARTS AT REST, AT LAST.
