THIS TRUTH

By: TeaL

You're my sturdy bow, my guiding light,

an angels wings keeping him in flight.

You're an old trees soul, an autumn leaf,

it hurts me when I bring you grief.

Now I'm needing you like winter earth,

needs the sun upon her turf.

You're in my dreams and in my heart,

I feel you close though we're apart.

My candles low, the end is near,

if you were here I would have no fear.

You held me up when life was tough,

when my body had had enough.

Before I leave my world tonight,

you must know you helped me fight.

Always there, you kept me strong,

through those nights that were so long.

This is where I end my fight,

I need you here to be my light.

We knew this truth would come someday,

and going alone is the only way.

My tired heart begins to slow,

it is time for my soul to go.

Please don't cry , don't shed your tears,

just remember through the years.

I will wait for you until the day,

you can no longer keep the wolf at bay.

No goodbyes will be uttered here,

I will see you soon, my dear.
