"Oh my sweet, sweet, Synthia. My pride and my joy,
It is too soon to leave my side. Can't you just stay with me more?
Without you the sunshine dims and the clouds roll in
The flowers wither and die, and I can't live my own life
You are my hope and my pain, You are the rose
Which hath been forever been planted in my brain"
Her raspy breath was slowly coming to an end
My heart rate quickened as I watched her helplessly fade away
"Oh God, how can thee watch as thine child leaves me!
Hath I done enough to please you? I gave you mine life
Mine hard work and my time. I raised thine servants!"
I cried out to the deaf lord of this world
I threw my bible and suit, her dresses and shoes
But the God who hath taken my wife, the love of my life
Stayed up in the heavens, tormented I might bash his head in
Her sweet soft voice, her sweet majestic looks
All of which this deaf god took
Her loving laugh, her cheery smile
All of which I had forgotten to hold onto more
Now she lays there, silent and gone
Her warmth fading away
"My sweet, sweet, Synthia
My passion and my sorrow
Let my memories of you
Live from today until tomorrow"
Sweet memories of sweet, sweet, Synthia
Slowly fading into my endless mind
Soon she is forgotten,
But my memories live,
Living on within my heart.
