Never Fade
You fade to your children
In their memories, you slowly die.
But for me, all I wonder is why?
You were there in times of sadness and shadows,
Times of smiles and sorrows.
Even when he decided to leave
You stayed unwavering.
But you were sick,
Slowly fading away in a white room.
You smiled
But didn't understand.
In the final minutes,
You left alone
In the darkness of sleep.
You were followed, though
By the man who left you,
To meet you in the lights of heaven's grace
And to see his child that died young.
When all else fades,
You remain.
To guide us in the darkest night
Until we see heaven's light.
