Written for a friend who is about to lose her husband of more than 50 years [bodytext] => Cocoon As you lie dying You motion me to come near As tears run down my face You whisper in my ear Do not cry my darling My time comes very soon Yet think not of me as dying But a butterfly emerging from it's cocoon This time God has granted me As your husband and friend You have and will always be The love on which I depend Do not think I leave you now Oh no that cannot be I'll be right beside you every day That's where I want to be And in those times you are afraid Feeling alone with no place to go Just listen to your heart My voice you'll surely know Yes soon I will shed this cocoon No doubt you will grieve Darling remember these words I speak I'm in your heart never to leave But I leave this body behind Yes shed my cocoon of clay To be born anew Gods Son today Russ [comments] => 2 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Lone_er [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )
