Ever More
Paul Klusman
The light arrives on time
Each day to mark the morn
We walk along a line
From the day we are born
Along the winding road
Until the journey's done
Stand before the ocean
To see the setting sun
Until the journey's done
Stand before the ocean
To see the setting sun
Your boat is in the bay
And now an evening breeze
To call your soul away
Across the endless seas
And now an evening breeze
To call your soul away
Across the endless seas
And when you do set sail
Towards that distant shore
Your sun then out of sight
I'll love you ever more
Towards that distant shore
Your sun then out of sight
I'll love you ever more

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful imagery Paul, it is sweet and full of love that is strong.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Lovely words for a well loved boy.
ReplyDeleteAs many times as I have experienced this loss, it never gets any easier. But the joy these little souls bring, the love and the joy, on most days I would tell you it is worth the pain of losing them.
ReplyDeleteMost days…
Awwww the love of our furry friends is so pure. You are both lucky to have each other
ReplyDeleteOh, Paul, what a lovely poem. Your sweet boy knows he is safe and loved and that's all that matters right now. My love and prayers to you and Oscar.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful, heartfelt and relatable. Your household is in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteNow you've written the lyrics, please finish this song and sing it for Oscar -- and for those of us who do have memorial services for our beloved pets.
ReplyDeleteThere's an old Welsh lullaby, "Now the day is ended, night is drawing nigh..." which might serve as a standby.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestion I'll look into it!
