Goodnight

I thought you were lying beside me I was so warm in your embrace , side By side not a care in the world just you And me, king size bed, guy and girl But when I awoke your side of the bed Was unwrinkled, cold, barren, shapeless And reality brought me back no you! Day in day out! What am I to do? Finding Love is so hard today. Dysfunctionality is the normal measure A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush Thing is you don't know about tomorrow Time passes idly by I hear your steps I catch a glimpse of your white coat We had a beautiful life together The island trips, cruises on the boat The birds still call your name We all loved you more than you know Our life together was cut short Cancers' the one who made you go Snow will be coming here soon Although you will never be cold again Don't worry I still have your ashes My promise to return them to England Goodnight my love I miss you so I am writing this to you before bed It helps me sleep to write to you And tell you the thoughts in my head I cherish the home we have and The time we had together my love Goodnight my love with all my heart May God keep you safe above.

A very emotional poem, Kelli, I find writing relieves my loneliness as well. John

Thank you John. Yes writing also helps to express feelings you can not say.
