My Wife Is Gone

Thirty five years oh so fine
I woke up each night was she really there?
I touched her hand brushed her hair
Smiled together so much to share
Well what now she’s gone you see?
How will I walk alone? 
If I call she won’t answer the phone
The world is dark where my sun once shone
It was this morning she’s up and gone
Lord, treat her special she was to me
Take her close to sit by your knee
Let her be there, if not with me
I don’t know what I will do
Feels like the best of life has gone to you
February 1, 2011 my wife just died and gone to heaven
Lord I hurt so bad

I am very sorry. I can't imagine how you must feel. I will surround your heart with white light today and my you find peace.

So sad when we lose loved ones, but there is the hope of the resurrection, and you can meet again.
