Gone
Small flecks of grey within her hair
A radiance so sublime
Draws from me, deep within my heart
A time when she was mine
Within her smiling countenance
Her eyes shined very bright
If I had known within that look
That she would pass that night
I might have changed my selfish ways
Paid attention to her needs
Encouraged her and loved her more
When she accomplished smaller deeds
She couldn't do a lot of things
And stuttered when she spoke
But still a bright light shined within
If she pulled off a joke
Within those dark brown loving eyes
Poured out her heartfelt tears
They're meant for all of us to share
Throughout the coming years
She knew that all to soon she'd walk
Upon those golden streets
With Jesus' hand held tight in hers
Blessing all that she would meet
You've been gone from me 1/2 a year
And still I feel the pain
I hear you on soft summer winds
Their breezes speak your name
The waves call out to you "Come Back"
I can see you in the clouds
I seek you thru the day and nights
I call for you out loud
The time has come I should not mourn
This, so that I've been told
But those who speak these hurtful words
Have hearts of stone, so cold
I must admit my love's still strong
I guess it's quite a quirk
You just don't know how hard it is
To forget God's handiwork
You know it comes from God above
My love I'll call it fate
While I sit here and contemplate
He has the words, to relate
He tells me trust your inner faith
Know that I feel your pain
Although you feel you've lost the world
Know that you'll love again
