CYNTHIA
THE LIFETIME OF CYNTHIA - WON'T END WITH THE DAWN,
WHICH WAS A LIFETIME OF SORROW - JUST A PLACE - TO CARRY ON;
IN THE "SEE-SAW" OF LIFE - ONLY A VICTIM OF STRIFE.
SHE WAS NEVER A MOTHER - SHE WAS NEVER A WIFE
THURSDAY HAS DAWNED -- HER "DAY OF DEMISE"
WHEN "OH GOD - I'M SO SICK" - WILL BE CLEANSED FROM HER EYES;
NO MORE BLACK OLIVES - NO BURGERS - NO FRIES ,
WILL CAUSE HER TO VOMIT - IN HER HOME - IN THE SKIES.
IT IS US - HERE - THE LIVING - WITH TEARS IN OUR EYES,
THAT WILL USHER HER OFF - TO HER JOYFUL SURPRISE;
WHERE THERE WILL BE - NO MORE MOURNING - NO ANXIETY - NO TEARS,
JUST A JOYFUL REMEMBRANCE - OF HER LIFE - THROUGH THE YEARS.
THOSE OF US - WHO REMAIN - WITH OUR HOPES - AND OUR FEARS,
WONDERING: "JUST HOW LONG? - WILL IT BE DAYS? WILL IT BE YEARS?
THROUGH THE "VALLEY OF DEATH" - MAY GOD ALLAY - ALL HER FEARS,
AND ONLY TRUST JESUS - AS SHE DID - THROUGH THE YEARS.
