This is a song from a poem my Wife wrote for my dear Mum's funeral. This song is dedicated to my dear Mum. And to all those who have suffered the agonizing pain of loss.
Lyrics:
We woke that morning like any other day
Sun was rising, birds were singing their refrain
Coffee brewing, world was turning just the same
But heaven had different plans, whispered your name
We didn't see it coming, had no time to prepare
One moment you were with us, next you weren't there
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you more
You're not just a memory, you're something we live for
It shattered us to lose you, left cracks we can't repair
But you didn't face that journey, didn't face it alone out there
'Cause the best parts of our hearts went walking by your side
Into forever, into the great divide
Your chair sits empty at the table where we gather now
Your laugh still echoes in the hallways somehow
The stories that you told us, we tell them to the young
Keep your spirit living in every word and tongue
We see you in the sunset, feel you in the rain
In every act of kindness, you're here again
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you more
You're not just a memory, you're something we live for
It shattered us to lose you, left cracks we can't repair
But you didn't face that journey, didn't face it alone out there
'Cause the best parts of our hearts went walking by your side
Into forever, into the great divide
They say that time will heal us, but that's not quite true
Time just teaches us to live with missing you
Our family chain is broken, links scattered on the ground
But gold is made for mending, and we will come around
One by one we'll follow, when our own names are called
And we'll forge that chain together, stronger than before, standing tall
In life we loved you dearly, now death can't keep us apart
You live on in every beating of our hearts
You left us peaceful memories, your love still leads the way
Though we walk through shadows, you turn our night to day
We cannot see you standing here, but we feel you all around
Until that chain reconnects us, 'til that day when we are found
We'll meet again, we'll meet again
Where broken chains are whole
We'll meet again, we'll meet again
When heaven calls us home
