Final Forward Home Poem by O.S. Brooks

If life is yet a lasting dream,
And memories stay clasped to me
Then worrying is all I see
If life is ever lasting

My love we stood the test of time
At least we shared each other’s lives
And truly if it’s meant to be
We’ll meet again eternally

I exist born free from Earth
By God, he formed me clay and dirt
To be the man I planned against
To live a life that heaven meant

Yet, in these times where lasting dreams
Take away those close to thee
We are forced to be alone
In our final farewell home

Where as,
Drifting sands in time grow strength
I gather mine and build my faith
To be the man you wanted wholly
The man whom lets God’s will control me

Where as,
Dreams deferred light roads ahead
With messages I sometimes dread
Telling hope to stay its’ course
To take ones life with no remorse

If life is yet a lasting dream,
And memories stay clasped to me
Then worrying is all I see
If life is ever lasting

My love there were such joyful times
That had us proud to be alive
The moments where we laughed a loud
With loved ones gone distant from now

I existed for your heart
And hoped our worlds would never part
But, life had plans that took your breath
And left me empty while I wept

Yet, in these times where lasting dreams
Take away those close to thee
We are forced to walk alone
In our final farewell home
