 “…as thy days, so shall thy strength be.”

– Deut. 33:25

The sun came up, the sun went down,

And in between our lives were changed.

The one I loved above all else

Went to his God, life here exchanged.

 

I know God’s Word is sure and true,

There is no doubt He’ll see us through;

And yet it’s such a massive thing

To think of life without Bill here.

 

For almost twenty years we lived

Souls knit together through thick and thin,

Best friends, same goals, pressing on together

To know God more, and love each other.

 

And now…now…I stand a widow,

Four sets of fatherless hands to hold.

I miss you…wish this wasn’t real,

That your kind eyes, strong arms I’d feel.

 

But it is real, and thus shall be

Until I join eternity.

And though you’re gone, I have His Book,

Whose promises are never shook.

 

So by His grace we’ll carry on

Until that great eternal dawn,

When once again my love I’ll see

And never, ever parted be.
