Leave Softly

Leave softly if you must
Before the break of dawn
Before we ask you to stay
Even just one more day

Though your womb
Ne'er cradled a baby
Countless children
Have been healed by your care

Worry not if the coffeepot
Sits empty today
Tears will fill it full
Your friends and family - sorrowful

A certain spot we cannot fill
A certain spot in our hearts you will
Memories to keep alive
Of how you've touched our lives

So leave softly if you must
In God's will we trust
The morning fog lifted
When you with eternal life were gifted
