Who Will Stand Beside Me Poem by Valerie Dohren
Who Will Stand Beside Me
Who will stand beside me
When my life is done -
There to watch me slip away
Just like the fading sun.
And who will hold my hand
At my final breath -
Who will say a last goodbye
When I am close to death.
Shall you see me weeping
Wipe away my tears -
Gently soothe my fevered brow
Dissolving all my fears.
Watching as I falter
When my time is due -
Softly whisp’ring through the night
A tender ‘I love you.’
As I lay there dying
Will you speak my name -
Shall I see you by my side
Once more with me again.
And shall you look upon me,
See my spirit soar -
Reaching out with open arms
To hold me then once more.
When my heart stops beating,
When I close my eyes -
Shall you gently carry me
With you to Paradise.
In that final moment,
Touching the unknown -
O shall you stand beside me
So I am not alone.
Too sad even for tears. The beauty of this work does balance out the sadness but how many can identify with the feelings here, so completely and masterfully said. Only the very great poets can make you feel joy or pain thru their words. Valerie Dohren does it each time.
Truly beautiful, searching words to find truth, harmony and peace at the end which will only be the beginning of Paradise!
Beautiful.......I'm welling up.......I've been to lots of funerals recently but also had lots of happy moments including several at funerals........I do love the yearning to be in company as we pass, something which my wife and I hold dear.....I've been away from the site for sometime and missed it greatly but I've come back with some new offerings......Thank you Valerie, great to be back.
Val., I am reduced to emotional tears.... these words are from deep inside your soul. Beautifully written Pat Northall
