My Darling

Whisper to me softly

Let me feel your breath upon my cheek

Spin me tales of times gone by

It is your comfort I now seek

My body is so frail

My mind it now forgets

I do not wish to leave you

My life has no regrets

I used to  fear the darkness

I know that you are right

Hold me close don't let me go

I need to find the light

My breathing will soon slow

My eyes now heavy and tight

The darkness will soon find me

I no longer wish to fight

I felt the joy of being a mother  

I know I lived a full life

I am proud of all our memories

I had the honor of being your wife

He wrapped his arms around her

His tears that night fell like rain

She was his soul mate the love of his life

He would never be the same

He closed his eyes beside her

They found him passed away

Next to the woman who broke his heart

The night she could no longer stay
