Obituary

One or the other must leave, one or the other must stay,
One or the other must grieve, that is forever the way.
That is the vow that was sworn, faithful 'til death do us part,
Braving what has to be borne, widening the ache in the heart.
One how so ever adorned, first must be summoned away.
That is the will of the Lord—one or the other must stay!
