COMFORT

I THANK YOU

FOR THE LOVE THAT EACH HAS SHOWN,

BUT NOW IT’S TIME I TRAVEL ON ALONE.

SO GRIEVE AWHILE FOR ME

IF GRIEVE YOU MUST,

THEN LET YOUR GRIEF BE COMFORTED BY TRUST.

IT’S ONLY A WHILE THAT WE MUST PART,

SO BLESS THE MEMORIES WITHIN YOUR HEART.

I WON’T BE FAR AWAY; I’LL BE QUITE NEAR.

JUST CALL ME SOFTLY AND I WILL HEAR.

Franklin Lee Stevenson
