Resting Place

by

Marian Jones
It's a quiet and tranquil place and this is
where you lie. In the silence I hear your voice,
see your face in the clear blue sky.

It seems so wrong that you are here,
and yet it had to be; your time on earth
was over, you left this world and me.

I can't help feeling cheated, you were
too young to die, but one day I'll come to
you and understand the reason why.

Until that time has come, I'll tend your
place with care, I'll cover it with flowers
and know you'll see them there.

You always said I cared for you in good
times and in bad, and I'll go on as before
although my heart's so sad.

Yet there is some comfort from tending
to your grave. I feel your love surround me
here, a strength that keeps me brave.

Although your body s resting, I know
your spirits free. I sense you watching
from above and caring still for me.

So when my life is over, I'll join you where
you lie, and then we'll be as one again,
Two soul-mates in the sky.
