Therefore my Love ..... If you must weep

Therfore upon your eyes of sorrow,
where your laughter, once I borrowed,
shall not you cry, so many tears,
nor speak of death, as now a fear,
In those years in which he made,
not many had so much to say,
speak not of me as being good,
for I to sinned as human's would,
Be it I, whom has been called,
to live upstairs, should I now ball,
mercy on that day I asked,
Our Savior's home, took me at last,
he placed his hands, upon my soul,
cleansed my spirit, today, I'm whole,
Be my soul, I tie to him, shall no evil ever win,
my spirit now is flying free,
shall I share my life with thee,
Be not your heart, in which I break,
shall not a tear, drip down your face,
shall those years take you through time,
must now my temple be left behind,
Today my love, I must depart,
shall no other, take my part,
be now humble if you will,
my temple now forever still,
My soul I handed to the Lord,
now his mercy I endore,
may you find the golden sun,
and understand, I've just begun,
It was not evil that I saw,
but the love of God in which I aw"
by our master's love I stand,
be it you that needs a hand,
If you grieve as I rest,
just remember, I've tried my best,
Therefore my love, if you must cry,
wipe those tears, and say ..... good-by!

This poem came about, through a funeral of a woman that I barely knew, I was driving down the road one day, and a carriage with horses had carried her body to eternal peace, It's strange how sometimes that effects a writer, I hope you enjoyed this,

I agree with Vic. The smallest visions can lead to wonderful prose, and this aint no exception. Written very well, lovely flow.
Cheers,

Greetings! Often in life, just one small seemingly normal occurance can inspire thoughts and emotions which demand poetic expression in those of us who speak that language. This is good! - Vic

It's very rare to see a poem that uses assonance and near rhymes so skillfully.
