Without You

What of the new year without you
your love for me was ever true
what of your sweet and caring eyes
no longer here, no longer mine. 

What of the tender grass in spring
for you won’t hear or see a thing
what of the roses in full bloom
for yours have wilted all too soon. 

What of endless summer days
of happy times, of loving ways
that only a mother could impart
your love runs deep within my heart. 

What of autumn colors blazing bright
without you here it’s black as night
what of my tears, my heart has died
no words can soothe the pain inside. 

What of the winter and the rain
your kisses on my cheek remain
as you look down from heaven above
someday I’ll be with you again in love.
