            Courage shines through death as in life
            And love reigns as true as the sun
            As two who are one depart
            Clutching hands cure fear
            And whispered words of love give strength
            To those who now accept the promise of life
            A smile, a strained look of hope
            Then a sigh, life ends
            And begins the reign of solitude
            Cured only in death
            Courage to die, courage to live on
            And courage to let go
            These will be known to you someday
            But have strength, love, and you will be loved,
            Until your end.
