Favorite Poem

My lover's face
Is fading
She left me
Many years ago
My lover's voice 
Is fading
It is getting harder to hear
Its been many years
Since she told me
I love you
I no longer
Feel her touch
It's been many years
Since I held her in my arms
God decided it was time
For her to go
I will join her soon
I know
I will hold her
I will kiss her lovely face
And she will tell me
I love you

So tender, Timothy. A poem with which we can identify with sad nostalgia.
