I know our bond’s not one preferred,

Just know that I still care,

I pray to ease a heart disturbed

If ever your thoughts despair.

I beseech my tender Lord on high

To spare just one request:

“Smooth the depths where he may lie

And bless my friend with rest.”

Though I know I cannot stay by you

As I think of our sunlit skies,

Still, I’ll endlessly pray for you

That its light may return to your eyes.
