Be still my Beloved

Written as a tribute / eulogy for a very special person's memorial

Be still my beloved, your pain has been heard
Be brave oh suffering soul, you suffering has been seen
You have been so, so brave up till now
No matter how threatening was the breaking of the bough

No matter what the path ahead holds oh loved one
Know that you have always, always done what needed to be done
Have always, always said what needed to be said
You will be missed for all of eternity by all who know your name

Life without you will never, never be whole
Yet, as cruel as this world is and can be, life will move on
Though you will never be forgotten
Your legacy will live on in generations to come

Your gentle smile still lives on
Your loving gaze will still be felt
Your strong guidance still experienced
Your legacy will never be forgotten....

So, Be still my Beloved for it is now time to rest........
