A single face
A single tear
Runs down a cheek
With no one near
She just found out
Her time has come
In a very short time
Her life will be done
The years flash
Before her eyes
Soon she'll know
Her soul will rise
Her children are grown
Her job complete
The Lord her savior
She's ready to meet
She lays in bed
Just waiting for
To be taken
To heavens door
No more suffering
No more pain
She was the strongest link
In her family's long chain
