Two hands ... clasped together
In binding love that lasted forever
One just left, shortly after ... the other
In a golden shower of soft light
Two souls began to rise
From two bodies that lay close
On the bed they shared ... forever
The very air felt special, magical
One didn't feel someone just died
It was more a celebration of freedom
From the two old, wrinkled ... worn bodies
Peace was left on the faces of the deceased
One would swear both were smiling
Glad to be gone from this world
This world that was good ... bad
They lived a full life ... happy, sad
They lived forever keeping their promise
Made many years ago
I love you I do ... I'll always be there for you
When death do us part
Life will never keep us ... apart
When you go I will go too
I love you darling ... when you go I will follow you
Golden light faded to a soft glow
Two loves traveled to the other side
Hand in hand past forever
In life never apart ... when death came
They held hands, held on to the other
Where you go ... I will follow you
We are together past forever
Like stars and sky ... woven together
We are threads woven into fabric
Of the other side ... the ever-after
Few of the many before us
We'll be many when the few come
After us, when others go past forever
Repeating over, and over ... to the ever-after
After us, when others go ... past forever

I wish I could write what I feel in more beautiful words than I know ... I feel so much more than I can say.
