My Mourning Dove

While driving down that winding road
I carried with me such a load
Of sorrow, grief, and regret
I didn't think I'd lose her yet

Why do the good receive the bad?
While the bad have what the good should have had?
I suffer the loss of someone dear
I suffer thinking of the fear
That rested there upon her heart
Knowing I would be torn apart
But as she moved toward heaven above
A smile formed of truest love

For even though I mourn for her
I still am happy, just for her
Knowing she will no longer suffer
No more pain, no need to recover

For as I know she is in endless peace
My sorrow now starts to decrease
And even though I will move on
My new lost love is never gone

I will not forget my mourning dove
I will never forget my one true love
