Forever and a Day

Sweetheart, you've gone to be with God! Deep down, I know it's best. Your pain and suffering's ended, you're in a peaceful rest. Cigarettes, destroyed your lungs and caused your tragic end! For months, you struggled breathing, which was hard to comprehend. So many cherished memories, I have, of me and you! But, now you're gone and I'm alone, I don't know what to do! It's gonna take some time to heal, at least, that's what they say! I know it won't be easy, I'll just have to hope and pray. I stare across, my lonely bed, to where you used to lie. I try to wish you back again, but, all I do is cry! So, I have your ashes in an urn, right beside our bed! That's where they're gonna stay, Sweetheart, just like we always said! Right now, my future's kinda bleak! I realize, that's true! To carry on without you, will be, near impossible to do! I keep thinking, I'll get over this! I keep thinking, there's a way! The only problem is, my love' it'll be, forever and a day! Note: Dedicated to, Una, my loving wife of 54 years, who passed away on 5/7/13.
