In Loving Memory...James Delno Combs

To be with you once Again We think of you in silence And often speak your name, But all that's left to answer Is your picture in a frame? If we could have one lifetime wish, One dream that would come true, We would pray to God with All our hearts For yesterday and you! If tears could build a stairway And heartaches make a lane, We would walk our way to Heaven To Be With You Again!

May I go? May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say good-bye to pain filled days And endless lonely nights? I’ve lived my life and done my best, An example I tried to be. So can I take that step beyond And set my spirit free? I didn’t want to go at first, I fought with all my might. But something seems to draw me now, To a warm and loving light. I want to go, I really do It’s difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can, To live just one more day. To give you time to care for me, And share your love and fears. I know you’re sad and afraid, Because I see your tears. I’ll not be far, I promise that, And hope you’ll always know. That my spirit will be close to you, Wherever you may go. Thank you so for loving me, You know I love you too. That’s why it’s hard to say good-bye, And end this life with you. So hold me now, just one more time And let me hear you say, Because you care so much for me, You’ll let me go today.
