Awake another day without you here
Your gift of years so precious as my wife
I still can hear your voice so crystal clear
That sound a treasured echo of a life
I hurry out of bed to be on time
With thoughts of us together oh so grand
Arriving at our special place sublime
I close my eyes and see us hand in hand
This secret wooded place was ours to share
Fresh sunlight filtered through the leaves of trees
Our early morning rendezvous so dear
It’s timeless message strengthens one who grieves
Look for the light while passing through shadows
Aware that shafts of light quench life’s salvos
