Eternal Love
I close my eyes a moment, and the room begins to fade,
and suddenly I'm walking down a soft, sun-dappled grade,
The air is clear and gentle, like a perfect springtime day,
and there she is—my JoAnn-coming down the golden way,
She beams her cherished smile
I'll remember all my life,
the one that first told me, "You must make JoAnn your wife."
She takes my hand and says, “I've been right here all along,
I see you from Heaven, singing a beautiful song",
We sit beside a river that looks brighter than the sky,
she laughs about the fun we had and years that hurried by,
"You've still got work to do," she says, "and people yet to bless,
Share your gift of poetry, and your heart that will not rest."
"So visit when you miss me-l am never far from you,
Each time you share our story, I feel your love shining through,
One day we'll walk this path for real, no pain, no last goodbye,
but till that day, my love, enjoy your life, then come on by."
