The Silhouette of His Life

The silhouette of his life goes dancing by

he watches the world outside

bothers no one while he aches

his heart slowly fades inside

the days go by so slow for him

and his pain inside increases

his strength and will to fight and live

weaken and fade away

But all the while he ignites a burning love within

for family and friends who care

and the sweet words of wisdom

exit his mouth one last time

be true to your family

stay close to your friends

and remember the truth deep inside

Suddenly he sees the light

and longs to go towards it

the pain inside increases

until he says goodbye

and then all at once the pain is gone

and now he struggles no more

for the light of God brings peace to him

and eases all the pain

His family and his friends shed tears of lonely sorrow

aching for their loved one

but a quiet joy also remains

for they know he is happy now

and in front of their eyes and deep in their minds

they see the silhouette of his life

good times and bad times

past experiences and old friends

sweet people who care so much

The memories of all of them come to mind

and though it hurts they know it is best

for now he begins a new life

one that is never-ending

and causes nor endures no pain

and on the day that you or I should die

he'll meet us at the gates of Heaven
