My love

what a year it has been

missing you constantly

feeling you in the wind

 

Searching for your spirit

loneliness in the air

emptiness inside

more than I can bare

 

In this year of grief

longing for your loving touch

wondering if this punishment

have I suffered enough

 

Listening to a recording

comforted by the sound of your voice

watching a video with your image

 my only choice

 

Almost a year has passed

loving you more each day

not knowing where to go from here

or what to say

 

Faith is tested

as life marches on

little acts of kindness

small group to rely on

 

A promise to wait for me

if called home first

remembering gets me through the day

when the loneliness seems to burst

 

I know you are with God

working in the garden

painting pictures, playing guitar, and singing

all sins have been pardoned

 

One day you will meet me

never separated again

forever loving each other

there will be no end

 

Till that time comes

know I always think of you

trying to figure out life

love will carry me through
