A Picture of You
I only have a picture now,
A frozen piece of time
To remind me of how it was,
When you were here, and mine.
I see your smiling eyes,
Each morning when I wake,
I talk to you, and place a kiss,
Upon your lovely face.
How much I miss you being here,
I really cannot say,
The ache is deep inside my heart,
And never goes away.
I hear it mentioned often,
That time will heal the pain,
But if I'm being honest,
I hope it will remain.
I need to feel you constantly,
To get me through the day,
I loved you so very much.
Why did you go away?
The angels came and took you,
That really wasn't fair,
They took away my older son ,
My future life my heir.
If only they had asked me ,
If I would take your place
I would have done so willingly,
Leaving you this world to grace.
You should have had so many years,
To watch your life unfold
And in the midst of this ,
Watch me, your Mum grow old.
I hope you're watching down from above,
At the daily tasks I do.
And let there be no doubt at all,
I really do love you.
