Lost Love

Laid his head on crisp white cotton Her vision almost forgotten Now faded dreams combine with new Bringing to mind a paler hue Of how it was with her still near Filling his life with so much cheer The looks, the smiles, the gentle touch He’d never loved a girl so much Yet now it seems so long ago When they had met and got to know Each other like an open book A little nod was all it took For each to understand and see How much their love was meant to be A gift to each from up above Of never ending perfect love Death tried to break the bond they made But faith it came right to his aid Promising him an after life To go and spend with his dear wife To shed the burden carried long Alone without his wife's sweet song To fly so free to take her hand And join her in the promised land
