My Wish

I hold your hand every day.... 
And have yet to feel your touch.... 
I have kissed your lips a thousand times.... 
Still their taste is unknown to me.... 
Each night I lay my head upon your chest.... 
But I do not know the sound of your heart.... 
I have seen our passion while making love.... 
Only to be denied the wondrous sensations that only lovers share....


So I ask myself.... Are you real or just a fantasy?

We have shared our thoughts, our hopes, our dreams 
Together we have laughed and cried 
We’ve tasted the bitters that life had to offer 
And taken them all in stride 
We’ve traveled your mountains of rock and stone 
Crossed your deserts of blazing heat 
Survived the raging waters that rushed us 
And swept us from our feet 
We followed the path you chose for us 
Gained wisdom, strength and pride 
So why have you forsaken us 
And denied the love inside 
We have become one in so many ways 
Joined by a special bond 
Yet our life, our love, our future 
Lies uncertain within the great beyond 
I long for him, he longs for me 
So full of love that we could burst 
Let us drink from your heavenly cup 
And quench the endless thirst 
Oh Dear Father I beg of you 
Please hear my selfish plea 
Grant us this single wish 
Make US a reality
