Has Been Nine Months

I have written this a day early. When the spirit speaks, we should listen.

Has Been Nine Months
(with love to Barbara)

Has been nine months since God took you
To His home up in the sky
I'll always love you and miss you
No one has to wonder why

Over fifty years together
As a husband and a wife
Wish it could have been forever
There never was a better life

Praise God for all He gave us
As we traveled on our way
Our needs were always satisfied
And they are unto this day

Many wants were also given
In the excess of those needs
We always believed in Jesus
And the wonders of His deeds

I know you're looking down on me
From your place that's up above
You're helping me to move along
By still sending me your love

I miss you every minute
Every hour of the day
You were my lover, and my soul mate
There's nothing more for me to say

This is just an interruption
God has always been our guide
He will know when I am ready
And will take me to your side

Where we will spend eternity
In each others arms, with love
Until then, I am well assured,
That you are watching from above
