Temporary Mass

You should know, we'll be right here with you
As you come to your end
Though some will say to end is to begin again
Oh, I love the notion of a body and a soul
You're never truly gone
You're just intangible
And I can learn to live with that
It's just a part of life
We are but temporary mass
Along the arc of time

What can be said, I'll never comprehend
The story that you've left
The road is far too long
A tale for every bend
And even words said at their best could never paint you right
But what we learn when faced with death
Is celebrate life

You should know, you won't go by yourself
We're with you 'till it's sung
A song so beautiful, it pulls you out and up
I love the notion of a body and a soul
You're never truly gone
You're just intangible

And yes I cried with your last breath
My eyes are compromised
But I refuse to mourn your death
I celebrate your life!
