The Love That I Lost

When you were there my life was complete, All burdens and problems I could face head on all duties I could meet. You were the fire that ignited my soul, You were my destiny, my one true goal. No mountain ever too high, no river too deep, For I knew your love was mine forever to keep. Then the angels came to take you away, You left that morning not a word did you say. Lord please send her back, Without her I can’t keep my life on track. It was just her and I for so many years, Was my thoughts as I fought back tears. How do I survive, She was the reason I kept going, the reason I stayed alive. Only a heaviness do I feel as I lie in our lonely old bed, As I cradle your pillow where once you lay your head. Lord I was the one that was suppose to go first, This was my plan the one in my head I had so many times rehearsed. But I know you are still the boss, As I lay here morning my hardest loss. Lord take good care of her and make my remaining days short, The fire has turned cold without her to fuel my heart. footnote : My sweetie is still a kickin, didn't mean to upset no one. Thanks Ron
