Time to depart (my own photo)
Almost twenty years ago
My lonely heart was captured
Yours, right from that first hello
And each day since, enraptured
You broke the laws of what is true
For beauty fades as we get older
But age could never lessen you
In the eyes of this beholder
There is no smile here on display
Nor can I see your hazel eyes
Which, I often used to say
Were the jewels within my prize
But I must leave, it’s getting light
Outside, a new dawn chorus
I must ensure that all is right
For the gruelling day before us
I kiss your lips and softly say
‘Goodbye, my love, God bless’
In tears I turn and walk away
From the cold chapel of rest
