I Miss You

I Miss You
By Franklin Price

I miss you, darling, every day, but most of all at night
To not have you here beside me, when I'm switching off the light
To know that I can't touch you, as I'm falling off to sleep
To know that I am all alone, makes me mourn and softly weep

So many years we had together, God willed that it should be
Since two thousand, seven, it was mostly you and me
We relished in each other, shared in every night and day
Remembering the good times that we had along the way

I feel you are still with me. I'm still living in our house
You will never go away, for fifty years you were my spouse
I still have you deep inside me, in my heart and in my mind
You are watching down from Heaven, and aren't leaving me behind

Today has been five long  months, since God came and took you home
I have been so lost without you. That's why I'm writing you this poem
You are still here with me. I feel you every single day
I know God did the best for you, when he took your soul away.

I know he left me for a reason, what it is I'm finding out 
I go to church on every Sunday to see what it's all about
I sing and offer praises, and listen to the preacher preach 
I believe that Jesus saved us and he's never out of reach

I'm longing for some company but I feel it's way too soon
You spoiled me for all our years, always sent me to the moon
I feel you close beside me, still feel the softness of your hand
The way that I still want you, is much more than I can stand

I ask you that you will understand, if I still have some desire
I need someone to be with me, to sing with me in the choir
It may be just for company, to have someone to share
If it turns out, it's more than that, want you to know, I'll always care

I never will forget you, could not have had a better wife
You are, and always will be, the soul mate of my life
When life on earth is gone for me, I don't want to lose the way
You will be waiting for me, up in heaven, on that day
