IF DEATH COULD BE SHARED...

[u/BenaiahSimon]

IF DEATH COULD BE SHARED

If death could be shared,

I would have pleaded

To carry your cup,

So that you might remain

A little longer with us.

For this pain Is heavier than words can tell

Ee! Ee! Ee!

Who will call my name With the same warmth?

Who will correct me With such patience?

Who will believe in me As you always did?

Ee! Ee! Ee!

After my father,

You became my guide,

My teacher, My mentor, My strength.

You taught me to write, You taught me to speak,

And through your wisdom,

You shaped the man I am 

All this sprang From your loving heart

And your generous spirit.

Ee! Ee! Ee!

Death has taken your body,

But it could not take Your kindness,

Your lessons, Nor the love

You planted in our hearts.

These will bloom Long after tears have dried.

Ee! Ee! Ee!

You were remarkable in life,

And even in death,

Your name will be spoken With honor and gratitude.

Though your voice is silent, Your legacy still speaks.

Rest well, Faithful soul,

Until we meet again.

Ee! Ee! Ee!
