JUST LIKE WE USED TO DO

Looks so peaceful there upon thy grave where once these flowers never bloomed I think the concrete angel on your stone is lipping me a truth I've never known Up there in heaven where you are I could not rest like you my love These hands were made for toiling darlin' AND this heart was made for loving you, alone Looks so calm here yet a storm is brewing shackling my thoughts and rendering me sad I think its almost time for God to close the gate but if I hurry, maybe I can snatch you back to life ; Up there where doves cry and Angels sigh where flowers bloom at will on Abba's yonder sill There is a bench for two engraved by you, some day we'll sit there just like we used to do.

Dear friend, such a mystic poem that touches the heart. I can relate, of course. One day I'll meet my dear Lilian. It's in His hand. Incredibly beautiful poem.
