Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Loved Me For Awhile

Loved Me For Awhile

I felt you come into my life
oh the joy I came to know.
Unprepared to say the least
the day I felt you go.

You came and went it seemed to me
oh how I love your smile.
Thankful for the time at least
you loved me for awhile.

Encouraged while along my way
like sunshine in the rain.
You alone could see through me
past my eyes into my pain.

I tried to hide the tears I cried
wanting not to bring you down.
New tears found their way to me
when you quit coming around.

Back to all alone once more
I guess that's just my style.
But I'll always think of that sweet time
you loved me for awhile.

I felt you come into my life
oh the joy I came to know.
Unprepared to say the least
the day I felt you go.

Edwin C Hofert

For all of those that came into my life bringing me much joy. But at some point tried slipping quietly away. I may not have seen you leave. But I felt you go. I still feel your absence every bit as much as I felt your presence when you were here. Thank you. For loving me if only for awhile.
Ed
