Struggling

Struggling with missing
Your life intertwined
Deep in my days
As if it were mine

Your voice and your breath
The sweetest of sounds
Anchored my spirit
When you were around

And with that foundation
I learned to fly free
Striving for more
The best part of me

The feel of you by me
And holding my hand
Knowing that one heart
Always understands

This I am missing
Each day with you gone
Knowing that time
Just passes on

Hold me inside
Of your loving soul
Walk with me forever
And keep my heart whole

Speaking with you

The world's noise
Deafens my ears
Can't hear you speak

And when
You are not here
I feel so weak

Numbness
seeps in my bones
Separates me

From love
light and the truth
All that can be

To find
Peace in my soul
I hold your hand

Knowing
That you are there
You'll understand

Some see
Your body gone
Think you'll depart

I find
Your soul is here
Deep in my heart

And so
It will remain
For all of time

We walk
Ever in stride
Ever entwined

Never Far Away

Was it the teasing torture of your voice
That made me sure I had no other choice
Then to live my life forever with your soul
Surrounding me and making me whole

Was it your smile that caused my day to pause
To find itself with you just because
The only place for me is by your side
Hand in hand, heart to heart we will abide

When we met you gave my heart such peace
Though at the time you were quite out of reach
The trust you showed in me and I in you
A magic bond was born and then it grew

And so we walked along this rocky road
A shoulder that could help to ease the load
I often felt the bad was far behind
But your pain and fears caused terror in your mind

So from this place and the pain you are gone
And I rise alone each day to face the dawn
But your spirit stands by me and guides me still
and I know with love locked in you always will

Your memories and love they strengthen me
Your wisdom and your words help me to see
That truly you are never far away
And your love stands with me each passing day

Mysteries of love

Yesterday, today or tomorrow
Walking each and everyday with my sorrow
Though our love lives inside
You no longer walk beside
On this path I am on and must follow

With the strength of our love shining though
Days filled with gentle thoughts of you
The sunshine of our love
Shines on me now from above
And lives on in every thing I do

Walking close to you my heart will always stay
For you guide and help me on my way
Angel now hold me tight
Watching over me at night
Your hand in mine through out the day

The mystery of death with never part
Two souls joined as ours heart to heart
Tears that gather in my eyes
Speak of love that never dies
We are ever intertwined although apart

Take these tears

Take these tears in my eyes
Wipe them dry

Hold my hand, Hold me close
As I sigh

Your body and your face
May fade away

Your soul and your heart
Will always stay

Though your fingers will
No longer touch my face

Now your spirit finds a way
To take their place

Reassure my mind and body
With your soul

Finding new ways
To make our halves one whole

How is it that the love
With in my heart

Not diminished although
We're far apart

Gives me strength inside to face
Each passing day

And to know that with me
you'll always stay.

As I walk this path alone
I find you near

And each memory of our time
I'm holding dear

Your love
Locked in with mine

Hands forever
Intertwined

Messages

Sometimes when I am lonely
And I want to hear your voice
I listen to the messages
You left before your choice

I know that some may feel
It's not the proper thing to do
But it brings me such comfort
When I can still hear to you

The messages they are not long
Or left while deep in thought
Just a brief note to say
I'm here but you are not

It makes me smile a little while
Though lonely I still sit
To hear your voice speak in my ear
"nanny nanny boo be, tag you're it"

It was so you, so us it seemed
To play tag on the phone
And now it helps to listen
When I sit here alone

So listening to messages
Your voice forever clear
Is such a gift and blessing
When I can not hold you near
