The Greatest Pain
The greatest pain
Is the shadow of death
Seeing one loved
Struggling for each breath
Knowing before you
A vestige not the whole
Your friend's leaving
Frail body, broken soul
There at the end
A goodbye to impart
Not forgotten
Forever in our heart
Hard being left
As the one who survives
Feeling the loss
Getting on with our lives
No more pain felt
Suffering's now foregone
Death's a relief
Do not fret when they’re gone
Remember them
For the times that you shared
Smiles that you had
Believe they know you cared
Live, love and laugh
Make new mem'ries like mad
Take heart each day
From treasured moments had
It's not the end
Resurrection's ahead
When friends rejoice
In death's demise instead
