Our Journey’s End
If it should be that I grow weak
and my time on earth must end
I’d have you know you gave me strength
by being my best friend
My body will no longer hurt
when life on earth is done
Despite the pain in recent years
I still enjoyed each one
You will be sad this I know
our closeness will be missed
But treasure all the memories
and don’t let grief persist
I know with time you’ll cheer up
that’s what I admired about you
that when our days were the darkest
your courageous light shined through
So wipe away each solemn tear
and replace it with a smile
’cause few have walked in love like us
And I cherished every mile
