A Song of Love, Loss, and Unwavering Faith by Johannes Groenewald.
Five years have passed since you went away,
The silence echoes where your laughter used to play
Friends, we thought would stay forever,
Disappeared like morning mist.
When couples split, when death divides,
My wife Zelna was always at my side.
Nothing separates friends like grief does,
When one half of two is gone.
The other becomes a shadow
That reminds them love moves on,
But in this lonely valley of memories,
Where the broken hearts are cast
I hold onto one promise made,
The Lord will never forsake me.
They say the singles understand me now
But their baggage weighs different somehow.
Mine's not from choices that went wrong,
It's from a love that was so strong.
Heaven called you home,
Forever I will sing our song.
Nothing separates friends like grief does
When one half of two is gone
The other becomes a shadow
That reminds them love moves on
But in this lonely valley of memories
Where the broken hearts are cast
I hold onto one promise made,
The Lord will never forsake me.
Expendable, they make me feel
Like my pain's not quite real
But You don't see every tear I cry
You don't know the depth of my goodbye.
Five years, my love, and counting
But His love keeps me standing.
