Shine your sun!

Note: This poem was written for a friend.

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless."
NIV Psalms 84:11

It was only a year ago, today
When God's hand reached down and took you away
On that terrible night, my brightest light
Faded into the darkness out of sight

Your little room became a lonely tomb
As my heart and soul overflowed with gloom
For without you, darling, I am so blue
My darling, my sweetheart I so miss you.

I know that somewhere tonight you are fine
Around God's golden throne you sing and dine
LORD, why am I so late to heaven's gate
O why, my God do You now hesitate?

When you make us perfect for each other?
My darling sweet wife; my children's mother
Why let one-half of a spirit smother?
I've nothing more to give; don't let me live.

You took our soul's very best part, aboard
Now have mercy on me; give me rest, LORD
Bring us back together in one accord
Hurry! Make us one! Again! Shine Your Sun.

Shine Your Sun!
