Time to Die

Please mend my heart, O Lord I pray
My one true love has left me today.
Just before he went, he gave me one last kiss
With those tender, sweet lips I’ll surely miss.
He gave me one last hug with his big, strong arms
And promised me there would be no more harm.
Then he softly whispered something in my ear,
Words that I simply could not hear,
For I couldn’t bear the look on his face
As his heart began to slow its pace.
I knew I’d soon have to say goodbye,
And then it happened, it was his time to die.
