Unfinished Love
()
I read all your letters as I fall asleep each night
all the words of encouragement and beauty you helped me find
for time never did cease and beauty rolled away with the tide
and now the relentless rain pounds deep inside
For your smile that lit my heart through endless nights of despair
and your poetic words that always touched gracious heights
my life, I now find, is a bitter sweet song
of yesterday's memories and tomorrow's alone
As the morning sun comes to rise in peaceful hues of painted light
where once I sat in despair, but, now I can find, a small inkling of hope
as gracious memories pass through my mind
Although the Lord took you home.....that cold Autumn night....
