Walking with you to the harbour,
Knowing you were broken beyond repair,
Was seemingly slow, going over rocky places
But it was a privilege beyond compare.

To be by your side as you struggled,
With nobility and kindness to spare.

Destined for a land so far, so fair.

It will be my greatest thrill!

I hear your song in the rain
And in the birds upon the sill,
In the breeze and the roar of the sea,
And I know you love me still.
