Sweet Memories

I can still see your smile 
Your sweet and peaceful face. 
As you laid there in your casket 
Lined with satin and white lace. 
I stood beside you and caressed 
Your hand that was so cold. 
As I remembered how you said 
Together we'd grow old. 
On July 21st I found you 
And my life was torn apart 
July 27th I said goodbye. 
Walked away with a broken heart.
If just once more I could hear you laugh 
Or even see you smile. 
Just to touch your face once more 
I'd crawl a million miles.

This was utterly powerful, yet sad. Fantastic job, Laura. It's nice to meet you!
