Ronald Bingham Poet Narrative

The Love That I Lost

When you were there my life was complete,
      All burdens and problems I could face head on all duties I could meet.
You were the fire that ignited my soul,
       You were my destiny, my one true goal.
No mountain ever too high, no river too deep,
        For I knew your love was mine forever to keep.
Then the angels came to take you away,
         You left that morning not a word did you say.
Lord please send her back,
         Without her I can’t keep my life on track.
It was just her and I for so many years,
         Was my thoughts as I fought back tears.
How do I survive,
          She was the reason I kept going, the reason I stayed alive.
Only a heaviness do I feel as I lie in our lonely old bed, 
         As I cradle your pillow where once you lay your head.
Lord I was the one that was suppose to go first,
          This was my plan the one in my head I had so many times rehearsed.
But I know you are still the boss, 
           As I lay here morning my hardest loss.
Lord take good care of her and make my remaining days short,
           The fire has turned cold without her to fuel my heart.


footnote : My sweetie is still a kickin, didn't mean to upset no one. Thanks Ron
