Subject(s): Absence; Farewell; Love - Complaints; Separation; Isolation; Parting


Our loved ones departed still live with us yet
As they watch from Heaven above,
For hearts that have truly loved never forget,
And partings but increase our love.

How well we remember those days long ago,
To our hearts they still comfort lend,
While the years may bring sorrow and grief we know,
Still the present marks not the end.

Those days in fond memory ever remain,
Their solace no power can destroy;
Some day we shall meet with our loved ones again
When sorrow will give way to joy.

To the tasks that remain we must still be true,
To the faith and the love they gave,
Do the things that we know they would have us do
With a heart both cheerful and brave.

Then let us with faith wait the coming of day
When partings forever are o'er,
When the shadows of earth shall all flee away
As morning breaks forevermore.
