I WILL REMEMBER

The tears I shed today,
Will never go away,
Reminding me of her pain.
Her struggle was not in vain.

I see the shadow in the distance,
As she leaves this earthly existence.
Cascading tears from caring eyes,
Leaving stains forever surmised.

She left her mark for all to see
Her love for the needy no mystery.
A life not always narrow and straight.
Now she waits at heavens gait.

Tears I shed today as I remember
Her grace as a slow burning ember.
She’ll be with her God forever and always.
All pain gone she’ll have comfort and ease.

So let the tears I shed today,
Leave a mark in molded clay.
For God has not forsaken,
The daughter he has taken.
