---------------

Do not fret, for I am unafraid.
What is to come is not sad ,
For I shall be reunited with the ones my heart holds dear.
And whilst you shall not see my face,
Do not fear,
For I shall always be by your side,
To hold you,
To caress you
And to sing you to sleep when the clouds will not take you to Lórien gardens.

I do not fear what is to come,
Even though it will break my heart
For I shall not be able to see you each and every day,
Shall not be able to hold you in my arms
And feel your heart beat in your breast,
But I shall always watch over you,
Even though you shall not know.

One day you shall be with me ,
Your heart having chosen your path long ago.
And when that day comes,
We shall once again be one,
Joined in heart and mind
And once again you shall see my face,
Not lined and grey as it is now,
But its long forgotten youthful self,
And I shall see yours,
Beautiful and ever-young, as it has always been.

But that day is long ahead ,
And until that day arrives
I shall be there with you, watching as you sleep and play,
And I shall rest before you, wiping your tears away,
And if you should call my name,
I shall answer,
And although you will not hear my words,
You shall draw comfort,
For your heart shall know me and hear my words.
