My love's not like a red, red rose because a rose can die... <br />My love lives on, past death it goes and grows not asking why... <br />It has no need to ask at all the reason it exists... <br />It simply answers my heart's call, content that it persists. <br />Think not my death ends love's embrace, for love's eternal, dear... <br />It overcomes what fools can't face and what all cowards fear. <br />Death's lost its sting and poison, too! What can it do to me? <br />In truth, I've seen the Saviour's view who conquered Calvary! <br />In Him, I hold no fear of death, for it can't crush my soul... <br />God grants to me eternal breath and blood it can't control! <br />That's why I'll love you when I'm gone and wait till you join me... <br />By faith, I've seen the Saviour's Throne, beheld His majesty! <br />Think not that I'm then lost in space and distanced from your heart, <br />For I'm still in a state of grace with God's Love to impart... <br />I'll be with you throughout all time! I'll love you without end! <br />I'll prove to you that love's sublime - more faithful than a friend! <br />Believe in me as in the Lord who gave His life to save... <br />Think not of me as one ignored still dormant in a grave... <br />I live in Christ, triumphant still! Forgiven all my sins... <br />I love you now... I always will... I simply serve God's Prince...<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-queen-mother-s-faith-love-lives-on/
