Though I Cry My Tears As My Head I Bow

Who could have known it would end this way?

I would not get to see you for another day.

My heart breaks within me as I relive the last moments of our life,

Those precious last moments I was your wife.

You held me tender as the wind whispering in the trees,

The love flowing between us making us free.

Not believing you are gone now,

Though I cry my tears as my head I bow.

The memories of our love will live on forever,

I will always remember how you were so clever.

You had that special sparkle in your eye,

How could I have known you were to die?

It seemed we would live on for always,

I would hold you all my days.

Trying to believe you are gone now,

Though I cry my tears as my head I bow.

I will always love you no matter how much time will pass,

The special bond between us will always last.

I will carry you in my heart always,

For all of my days.

Your laugh and smile will carry me through,

Even when I know not what to do.

I will carry on somehow,

Though I cry my tears as my head I bow.

Memories of being your wife,

Seem to halt my life.

But I must dust off my heart and start again,

Open my heart for another to enter in.

I feel you give me your blessing with this path,

I must go on, in spite of the aftermath.

I will continue on now,

Though I cry my tears as my head I bow.
