Make Up

i close my eye's to see you
and to kiss you i kiss the air
to hold your hand i clench my fist
though there is nobody there
sometimes i listen for your voice
in the passing wind
and hope for some form of ghost
to replace my missing friend
my time for you it comes and goes
whether you're there only heaven knows
my peace is in knowing your with God
my hope with glowing smile gives a nod
my joy overflowing with you in my mind
my memories of you all good times

I don't know that I can really express the way your words in this piece have touched me, moved me to tears, put a smile on my face and my grandmother's voice in my ear. Thank you john
