…and you the one
who kept me strong,
when days were endless,
nights were long.
When I, not sure
of life or death,
or near to taking
my last breath.
Knowing you were by me
eased my pain.
You were the one
who kept me sane.
My life in limbo,
like a ticking clock,
and all the while,
you were my rock.
I knew I had to
make it through;
to share with you
those skies of blue.
So much more living,
I prayed there’d be,
even when recovery,
really got to me.
I dreamt we’d travel.
I had a master plan.
I said to God,
‘don’t let me kick the can.’
‘I need her with me
in the promised land,
but I’d prefer on earth
to hold her hand,
a good while longer,
if it be your will:
This gift of life,
my one hope to fulfill’.
—–
Now each moment cherished
by the simplest things;
walks by the river,
as the song bird sings.
And I thank you sweetheart
from the bottom of my heart.
I’m yours forever,
until the oceans part.
There’s one more thing,
and this you must hear.
‘I’ll love you always,
my darling dear.
