Benediction
Wild spirit sealed in sorrow
seprate from the life she made
Pain without her broken body
pain within her broken heart
Laying pressed by death's dark hand
rebelling 'gainst the body's ebb
Hearing cries her little one sends
she turns from life to seek the end
Mortal body cast aside
buried in the dust as stone
Savage reel of life, loosed free
spinning far from time's control
Traveling now through paths of shadow
listening for that bright faint cry
Comes upon a vale of sunbeams
'n dancing there, her life's pride
With joyful greeting her once-child
met not in life, but eternity
She sees now life instead of death
within this grand new liberty
Immortal bond stretched betwixt kin
strengthend now beyond death's door
Together unhindered they go a-searching
wide-eyed in the light of truth
