THE BANNER YOU WAVE

THE BANNER YOU WAVE

Thoughts are winging

Over time and space

From my hear to yours

In a very different place.

I feel your sadness and sorrow

I feel your aching pain

I reach out to comfort you 

As you struggle through the rain.

I know that you are hurting

And disappointment visits you 

Be proud of your behaviour

And everything you do.

I sense in you the agony 

Of watching a loved one in pain

These dark days will pass for you

And the sun will shine again.

Your heart is hurting

Although your conscience clear

The Karma will come round again

Of that you need not fear.

You did your best, gave of your time

And your tender loving care

While others stood back and watched

She knew that you were there.

She felt your kind and gentle hand

Your loving tender touch,

You were there for her ~

She loved you very much.

So as you say your last farewell

Let this be the banner you wave,

Goodnight and calm seas be yours

You were very very brave.
