Love Letter To A New Widow

Love Letter To A New Widow----

-

Dearest 'Daughter-used-to-be'

On your tear-drenched face I see

All the dreams you longed to share

With the man we left back there.

--

You were his bright and constant world

Through all the days his life unfurled.

Three short years were all you had

With my once small red-haired lad.

-

Dreams seem over, laughing done

You've lost a husband, I a son.

But we've all seen and touched that Cross

That took our guilt and now our loss.

-

It turns them into boundless joy

For once more, we'll be with that boy

Yes, dearest daughter-used-to-be,

We'll join him in eternity

-

Those tear-stains God will wash away

Your heart has found a place to stay.

Just as his face, we'll someday see,

My daughter you will always be.
