THE
HARDEST CHOICE
For Priscilla, beloved
companion of Mary Jenkins
How can I bear to lose you, my precious gentle one,
To know that you will not be here when my day is done?
So much of my heart, my love, have I given up to you,
How then can I stand the pain now that your life is
through?
My sorrow overwhelms me, the tears so freely flow,
How can I carry on my life, with a heart that's laden so?
Then the answer comes to me from the stillness in my
soul.
Remembering the love we shared will help to make me
whole.
I'll hold you in a special place, so deep within my heart
And in these loving memories we'll never be apart.
You will not be so far away, your presence I will feel.
I'll wrap myself in memory and slowly I will heal.
The years we shared, the little joys, the laugher and the
tears
My love for you will never die, but strengthen with the
years
So fare you well, my precious love, I gently let you go
And pray to all the Gods there be that you will always
know
I loved you so, my little one, that love will never cease
I gave you warmth, I gave you love, and now I give you
peace.
