Falling Leaves
By Ben Whisman
~
-
- Falling leaves, crying skies
- Loves slowly dying, others not here
- God, I don’t know, why is life unfair?
- Good suffers, bad goes free?
- What’s the answer? Where’s God?
- Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen unexplained wonders
- Even if the cover’s not pretty, good and beauty’s within
-
- Friend seeks not to lose one going, gone, losing, lost
- Friend sees return ahead, not lost forever, dear friend
- Take away all earthly things, yet love remains
- Faith, hope, even love, may be broken
- But love heals, it will not all die ever
- And it renews hope and faith
- Beyond life or earthly things, love is truer
-
- So we will mourn when friends go, seeming lost
- Yes, we will miss them for a time
- Even if they are not truly gone forever
- Yet one day, we will meet again
- Soon enough, dry these tears and rejoice
- Friends renewed, newborn, embrace
- Loss is not forever, love friends for truth
-
- Dear friend, if someday we part
- You are not lost, you’re still in my heart
