You must be fierce, and brave, and strong
I mutter to the fire
No one knows what comes after that
Only God Himself
You must suffer until you do not exist
And I must carry on
Till I too start suffering
Till I too die
By then it will be too late
The things you meant to do
Do them before the candle burns out
And I will do mine
My eyes crease with joy
When I see you still alive
A river of pain after that
A river that becomes an ocean
And nothing after that
And nothing for me but death
You must be very brave and strong
The suffering is to death
One day it will be gone
But not until then
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
