It hurts to wake

I woke up from a dream
it must have been of you
My eyes were full of teardrops
just like the morning dew

The dream it was not painful
nor of the hurting kind
But waking up, remembering
The missing you I find

The angel kiss to calm me
The breathe upon my brow
The only soothing you can give
As parted we are now

It hurts to wake up, face the dawn
Without the memories of
The dreams that you are sending me
your face, your words, your love

Yet I know that they are there
To ease my restless soul
Holding my hand eternally
You always make me whole

But still it hurts to waken
To leave you in my sleep
Even though your heart and soul
Are always mine to keep

Gentle my cries

Can you tell I'm crying
Kiss the tears away
Hold me tight in your arms
For just another day

Angel wings enfold me
Give me angel grace
And I can hear angel words
When held in your embrace

Holding me forever
and I'm holding you
And each smile in memory
Helps to get me through

I know you feel the teardrops
They echo in your heart
Your spirit comes to ease them
Though we are far apart

Each new day you walk with me
Comfort my dreams at night
Kiss me sweet with angel breath
And guide with angel light

Soul Dance

Our souls dance in a peaceful place
Eternally held in loves embrace
Memories live on
Though your body's gone
And they reach across time and space

Our hearts stroll, forever's harmony
Hand in hand it's where I will be
Across time and space
Fingers interlaced
Secret garden only we can see

Our hands touch, in an angel dance
Walking deep in a timeless trance
Only we can see
What is meant to be
And our hearts always take the chance

Our souls dance in the coming dawn
Late at night with the curtain drawn
Always take the chance
And join in the dance
Hearts so close, memories live on

Restless Today

Restless, Stephen, I miss you
Wanting to lay by your side
Reaching a hand to slip into yours
Knowing with you I abide

Watch as my spirit wanders
Lost without your gentle touch
Wondering what I can do for my heart
Each breath when I miss you so much

Taking a sweet memory moment
Focus, the feel of your hand
Helps me to walk through the days
When I'm not sure where I stand

For I know I'm ever beside you
Though you are now up above
Still you surround me, encourage me on
Sheltered and guided with love

You are my guardian angel
Two souls forever as one
Walking the timeless sand beaches
Later when my time is done

Though we are always together
In this life we now are apart
Eternity's moments stretch endless
The teardrop of love in our hearts

So love is the focus that holds me
And strengthen my soul for the walk
No matter the places and times we go
Our hearts beat together and talk.

Thank you

Thank you for listening to me
And sending me your love
I need to feel you with me
Although you've gone above

I need to feel your spirit close
A breath away from me
So I can rest and find the strength
To be what I must be

I often find I can't explain
How much I still need you
And how the love that we have shared
Helps me to make it through

I make it through because I know
Our love will never die
And with your angel wings you teach
This loving heart to fly

With your hand still holding me
Our hearts forever talk
And in our souls eternally
Together we will walk

In my heart

In my heart I have the words
I still want you to hear
And to your picture I will talk
Since you're no longer here

The words are not unspoken
You've heard them all before
But within my heart I know
I need to say them more

Although you're gone, love remains
and echoes in my heart
And when you whisper in my ear
We never are apart

You whisper to me songs of love
And help my soul find peace
Knowing that the words we share
Are never beyond reach

So in my heart your angel voice
Sings out with joy and love
You share with me the bounty
of God's gifts from above
