Swim at the surface, Surf on the wave
Keep to the shallows my Dear
The ocean's depth do not think to brave
The current will pull you away.
Stay here in this moment, Glance briefly ahead
Don't linger too long in the past
Use every second and fill it with joy
Worry not how long it will last.
Stay light, keep it bright
Brush away tears with a smile
Give strength, hold a hand
And just be together a while.
When a loved one is fading
Life's light growing dim
There's so little else we can do
Than hang onto the love
And pray God above
Through the battle that soon Death will win
