I think how different my life would be, If I were YOU and You were me
Could I live a happy life? could YOU live without YOUR WIFE
I'd live each day : thoughts of tomorrow,YOU would live in yesterday's sorrow
In yesterday's pain, in yesterday's agonyI'd be living for my Family
                I'd love my wife, my daughters, my sons
I feel the warmth of the sun : I'd hear the symphony of the rain
I smell the aroma of the RosesI'd feel the thorns but not the pain
YOUR pain would be forever Your Dreams are of YOUR wife LENORE
YOU see her in the clouds, You feel her softness in the petals of a rose
               Her fragrance still wafts through YOUR nose
My Heart would beat for the Love I know ; LOVE will follow wherever I go
I'd savor the LOVE I find in my Heart knowing such LOVE will never depart
You would wait for YOUR last Breath ; YOUR Broken Heart would welcome Death
I think ; However we cannot change Detiny. So YOU be YOU And I'll be me
                                  I'll meet YOU in ETERNITY

This one is very sweet. What an interesting concept, to even IMAGINE being in your shoes--in any way, shape or form. Setting that aside for now, I really like the title too. Thanks for sharing and keep posting. I will certainly be reading (: Always, Laura

you are more than grateful for the love you cherish with Lenore.even though she is not on earth anymore. you are always still so grateful for such a love. and you never change that, nothing will every change that about you Harry. you would never journey on a false trial and pretend to forget the woman you love with true purity. because you're Harry.you are you. i love you always.
