Until I felt your light

Shining ever so brightly

Beckoning in the night

As I shivered in the cold

Grounded by fear

Invisible to most

Treading an ocean of tears

Your voice a powerful force

Spoke to my soul

Your message of hope

Praying, don’t let go 

Strong hands gently cradled

My heart on that day

Restoring a love

So broken, buried and gray

With each new breath

A calming revive

A new horizon

A brand new life

How do I thank an angel

Who granted me wings

Allowing me to soar

To new beginnings

Words of and to hearts

Connected by strings

Forever entwined

A gift that only

Love brings

Words have a profound meaning 

When spoken by you

Igniting souls, hearts and minds

In an incorporeal truth

Their healing powers

Beyond comprehension

Relieve the pain of loss

A love prematurely taken

Enduring faith and passion 

Echoed in your song

Reiterate how life and love

Are truly one

Never take either for granted

For so fragile are they 

A gift eternally enchanted

Rolling down the path

Skipping striding steadfast

In its quest

To reach a destination

A quiet place to relax

By the river edge

A stop to see the view

Making friends along the way

Everything so new

Decisions definitely difficult 

For anyone to make

Careful in its need

Not to make a mistake

Plans and charts help to guide

A safe course to never stray

Journeys end awaits 

A new and remarkable place

As the sun begins its golden fade

A cozy spot at best

Slender green blades of grass

Soft serene so perfect for a rest

Sleepy dreams offer time 

To recuperate in wonder

Just where to go

In this new fantastic life 

So much for a little rock to ponder 

When no-one else

Is here for me

I talk to you 

When so alone

Confessing all my inner fears

Thoughts through prayer

Through flooded tears

You listen so intently

Feeling my every need

Comforting my mortal pain

Leading me to believe

That all my suffering

Will soon depart

Troubles too will disappear

Fear will become an inner strength

To dry away my torrential tears

Doubt will subside

Love will be regained

Hope will return reunited with

A faith restored

A lasting love

A life adored

Whole, once again

Joy everlasting

Thank you for listening 

My heavenly friend

Like trying to breathe 

While holding my breath

I’m drowning in pain

With waves of regret

My message to you

So misunderstood

Tangled and garbled

You don’t see the good

Intention amiss

Distance prevails 

A growing divide

Love on the rails

I’m losing the battle

Nothing to gain

Fighting alone

A losing game

Trust so lost

Envy to hate

Love destroyed

A twisted fate

A hope for change

A prayer in the wind

A message to you

To love me again

Your love was and is a treasured gift

That I hold deep within my heart

Its purity and gentleness

I recognized from the very start

It came to me at the most perfect time

When I was alone and never knew

That there was a void in my life

And that I really needed you

Your love brought a change to me 

It made me realize

That hugs were so much better

Than anything money could buy

Conversation and laughter filled the air

With plans made just for two

Eventually though our love

Strengthened and our family grew

I never imagined that one day

Far too soon

That I would have to say goodbye to you

But God had a plan

I’ve done all that I can 

The years have passed

And now it’s time to move on 

But first I want to mention

You may be physically gone

But you’ll never be forgotten

Our kids are young adults now

They’re both exactly like you

When I look into their eyes

I happily see you

Although our house holds 

A life of old memories

A house is not a home

These moments etched in time

Will gladly be set free

And forever travel with you, the kids and me

From now 

And throughout eternity

If there were a way

To be with you eternally evermore

Whether floating on a cosmic cloud

Or sleeping on a sparkling star

Would I gladly go

Leaving today beguilingly behind

Abandoning Earth’s trivial treasures

Never again to painstakingly plan ahead

To never again ponder tomorrow

For the chance to delightfully dwell

Divinely in your arms

Forever fulfilling our ultimate dream

Rejoicing intently that death was defied

And lasting love prevailed

Setting the celestial course

To endless enduring eternity

An ultimate destiny recaptured

Infinite pleasure soulfully satisfied

Eyes never turning back

Hearts perpetually entwined

In blessed sweet serenity

Would I gladly go

Without hesitation, yes

Your evocative eyes

So like the Barbados sea

Warm with emotion

A calming tranquility

Windows to the world

With unique perception

Capturing Gods infinite creation

Sharing his majestic beauty

Without articulating a sound

Silently whispering

Of untold treasure found

Softly demanding total attention

Gravity draws us in their direction

Intentions expressly delivered

Compellingly clear

Revealing what they want all to hear

To love completely

Discard fear

Live in the present

While we are here
