Eternity

And now I see the other side

Of love lost

And taken all my pride.

The ground still moist

With my starlit tears,

I try not to think

Of all the wasted years

Sometimes it feels like old times again

Your pictures make me smile within.

But then the tear of parting words

Drags up the pain of blackened burns.

And now in darkness,

In the cold of night,

Your pictures add to my deepest plight.

Will these feeling ever fade?

Will my heart become jaded

With this passing age?

Will true love ever find this broken heart?

Will the darkness end

With mornings glorious spark?

And now I know this too will pass

That God above will forgive our past

And as I journey beneath the heaven’s glow

A star will find me, and I shall know

That love is out there

Spring comes anew

The garden may wilt

But is refreshed by dew

The lost son may return

To heaven’s glee

And my heart’s love will be found,

In eternity
