Morning, Again

By I.M. Ulysses

Morning again

And I am alone

Pondering what

I could have done

You came once again

My dark enemy

And stole from this world

A dear friend to me

Why did you do this

What cause can explain

That has let you loose

On my family again

Must you surround me

And take lives away

Of those that I love

And who wish to stay

Who's next on your list

Whose time will come round

When I am not looking

And you come around

You've taken my friend

Our beloved Beverley

Then you took Grace

A Christian lady

Now it is Jim

That you've hunted down

And buried beneath

A new graveyard mound

Maybe it's time

You took some time off

For I'm growing angry

At all that I've lost

Unto my great Father

I commit all my tears

Which He has collected

Throughout all these years

One day He'll return

And pour them all round

And the graves they were shed on

New life will abound

Freed from the darkness

His victory complete

He'll raise from the dead

Those now in defeat

They'll rise like the dawn

Their arms open wide

To embrace once again

A life undenied

That day is coming

On this bet your soul 

When death will have ended

And our hearts are whole

But until that moment

I will carry on

Calling on Jesus

Till His battle's won

And when it is finished

I'll go to His throne

And worship my Saviour

On that great new morn.

For my Cousin Jim Kokkoris,
You are missed, loved and remembered, always.
Rest in Peace.
