Everlasting Light

Dawn
Whilst body is exhausted here
and craves a rest from mortal fight,
my soul bequeaths a part of me
to shine an everlasting light
for you, who bravely carry on,
concealing  rage behind your tears.
No matter how it might seem now,
my light will guide you through all fears
for you shall never be alone,
not even in your darkest hour.
As you have always trusted me,
trust now in this immortal power.
I shall live on in you my love;
your sweet breath fans the light of me. 
I vow to keep the faith with you
in every joyful memory
but in return I beg of you, 
do not concede to mournful thought;
 your life, still precious, must go on
 so our  eternal peace is bought.
