DEAR JOHN
Dear John
She wishes you were here, even though she knows you're in a better place,
For without you, there's so much to do, so many things to face.
The pain is great, the emptiness is vast, they are all feeling the loss--
But faith must prevail and the Lord says they have to bear His Cross.
Dear John
You touched so many lives and you really left a mark on this earth,
You truly loved your life for all that is was worth.
They had the best of times and the worst of times,
But so many if them wouldn't be here, John, if it weren't for you.
Dear John
She knows that someday they'll all be with you once more,
But it will have to be in the Lord's time and over on the other Shore
Where peace reigns and precious loss is all around--
Where the angels' voices can be heard, Oh what a glorious sound!
Dear John
She can hear you telling her that life must go on,
But it hurts so much and she really doesn't want to
Without you by her side--
Dear John.
