Lonely Feelings

There was a time I loved to live and lived to love. And then the Lord saw fit to take my love away. I pray that he is happy in his home above. I fill my time with busyness throughout the day, But in the lonely nights I miss his loving arms. I wonder why the Lord took him and let me stay. The long warm days of summer have distracting charms That help to keep the lonely feelings under cover. I well know that at night they will return in swarms. Oh Lord, You've promised when this lonely life is over I shall meet him and all my loved ones once again, While the angels sing and all around us hover. My Lord, I know you have been with me through the pain. And I pray that I am not living on in vain.
