Goodbye, My Love - Part Ii

And now I look down at her, her serene, angelic face And the slight smile on her lips that has stayed I think of how peaceful she looks, In her death, all of her pain has been taken away The pain has been passed on to me, But I accept this suffering in all humility Knowing she suffered much worse and far more, Forever her pain is now a grander part of me Now life's worth just our memories,  Everyday I relive them, our precious love story  I see her everyday, in the smiles of our four children, I look forward to their visits, that's what keeps me going Once I had thought I wouldn't last long, Would die the very second she was gone But I'm stronger now, facing her death and this emptiness in my life, With the strength and courage to me, she passed on.  Every night my love, when I go to sleep, I feel u lying next to me, And everyday on my morning walks, I feel this tinkling in my palm, As if u were there, holding my hand, And then I look down and see...your invisible footprints in the sand.  I smile a little smile then, I knew u couldn't leave, After all, you promised me eternity And It's your presence in my life, that even after you died, has helped me stay alive And it's your aura around me, that has helped me survive, The biggest blow God gave me, When He took you, 'Sabera'...the love and joy of my life, away from me.
