Child of Love by June Sargent
Artwork by Linda Bickston at FanArtReview.com

Though you are gone, there's no despair

Sweet memories I keep

Our child of love

Gift from above

Sweet memories I keep


Our love was strong and it ran deep

The future looked so bright

But Death stepped in

We could not win

The future looked so bright


Eternal bond of love is tight

The joy outweighs the grief

I shed some tears

Allay my fears

The joy outweighs the grief


Our time together was too brief

A love affair so rare

I took a leap

'Cross mountain steep

A love affair so rare
