My Fondest Wish
I stare across this lonely room
at your picture on the shelf!
All your lovely memories
have me feeling sorry for myself!
It's been awhile since you've been gone,
but doesn't seem that way.
I feel you're with me all the time,
each and every day!
I try so hard to carry on
and do the best I can.
I find it near impossible
to accept it like a man!
My friends and family give support
to help me through these times.
I know it's up to me to straighten out,
and that's the bottom line!
So I'll have a talk with the Man upstairs
and pray He'll help me face the fact,
that you're up there with him now,
and you're not coming back!
So, Honey, there you have it.
You'll always be my wife,
but, you're not with me anymore,
I have to get on with my life!
That is my intention,
that's what I plan to do.
My fondest wish when I expire,
is to be, up there again, with you!
