KEEPER OF SOULS
H. W. Bryce
To all we have lost to Covid 19
O mighty Keeper of Souls,
Please keep the soul of my (Annie).*
Please tend it in your Garden of Grace.
Let it blossom, help it to blossom
To its most glorious state.
O Keeper of Souls, please take care of my mate.
Now as she crosses that great final divide,
Now as she walks through the clouds,
Now in the sunshine and into your arms,
Please take care of her soul and love her aloud.
She lived her life the best way she could,
She was a giver, she gave nothing but good,
If I could be like her, you bet that I would.
Keeper of Souls, please love her as only I could.
In your Garden of Grace so full of love,
Let her abide in the peace of your bower.
Make her a star. She was the mirror of my soul.
Crown her a member of your bouquet of love.
O mighty Keeper of Souls,
Grant me my prayer,
Grant my love, my dear Annie,
A place in your garden. Allow her the peace
That she so bountifully deserves.
Let her soul sing up there with the angels
In your Garden of Souls.
I send you my condolences. Hugs.
* NOTE;
You can substitute the name or relationship of
Your lost one in place of Annie in the first and last stanzas. Also for ‘mate’ in the last line of the first stanza.
Annie is a stand-in place holder for you. Ann was my wife, whom I lost to Alzheimer’s in 2016.
