Keep Busy

Try to keep busy thats the Idea

try and look happy and dont show that tear.

walk round the house, but dont look to much,

there's the salt and the pepper,

she blessed by her touch.

The house is not empty, she's in the next room

I pretend that I'm happy and not full of gloom.

reality beckons, reality calls

My dearest is near me within these four walls.

I see her in toothpaste, I see her in chairs,

 I see her in everything, as I go down the stairs.

My prayers say I miss her, why wasn't it me ?

 I prayed for her healing, but it wasn't to be.

So now I am waiting, but time goes so slow,

 so I'll  try to keep busy, till its my time to go.

Life's full of sorrow, life's full of pain,

 life will be empty, till I see her again,

In the glorious yonder my saviour I'll see,

 with one stood beside him in great majesty.

My Saviour will beckon, my dearest I'll see, 

no death then can part us, for eternity.
