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.
