JOYFUL DAYS

 

Gone is that joyful day

When we stood before God

Humble in his presence

And we were joined as one

Everything ahead of us

 

Gone are those joyful days

Full of love and laughter

Days of tender moments

And heady nights of passion

Everything ahead of us

 

Gone are those joyful days

When we walked the shoreline

Sunlight glinting on the water

Walking hand in hand

Happy and carefree,

Everything ahead of us

 

Gone are those joyful days

When God blessed our union

Delivering joy into our lives

As our little family grew

And we had everything we desired

 

Gone are those joyful days

When your smile lit up my life

And filled my heart with love

Before it was broken in two

And you were still here with us

 

Gone are the joyful days

Since you have gone before me

And you are now at Gods side

So I will miss you until the day

When God reunites us

 

I look forward to that joyful day

When we stand again together

But though my heart is broken

I must delay our reunion

Because our children need me

And I must love them double now
