Six Months of Missing You
(a message for Barbara)
By Franklin Price
07/18/2022

Six long months of missing you, are passing by today
Since that night in January, when the Lord took you away
Could no longer see you suffer, so he lifted you on high
And left me here to miss you, and to have me search for why.

He has guided me to church again, where great blessings have been found
I am trying to proceed along with my feet on higher ground
You and Jesus Christ are in me, helping me to run this race
To make some contributions, that make this world a better place

Memories of our life together, are forever in my soul
Our marriage, made in Heaven, is on the top line on the scroll
That lists the ones among us, who honored vows until the end
It's easy to make promises, when your spouse is your best friend 

Tears still flow in sorrow, for myself who's here alone
I celebrate that you're in Heaven, with our Lord who did atone
Who paved your way to Glory, where we'll meet again some day
Until then your spirit's in me and helps me move along the way

Love always, Frank
