Lonely

Lonely

Lonely without her

My soul is crushed

My heart beats slower and slower
 

Wishing, I think, to join her

Her, in her glorified state

With nothing but happiness to surround her

 

Me with an empty spirit

Longing to touch her one more time

To hold her one more time

Rather than sobbing

Over her mortal remains

 

Am I selfish to want to hold her again?

To want to simply touch her?

Forty-two years should count for something

But I know it won’t

God has made it very clear that none may

Cross back over the great divide

 

Yes, I play the happy, carefree fool

But in my heart I cry

Dry eyes fill empty eyes

Please let me see her so that I may

Just once more touch her beautiful face.

Gaze into her deep brown eyes                

 

Memories, both good and bad
Are precious to me now                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               They are all I have left

I must treasure them for as long as I can

For some are beginning to fade

But this I can say with all honesty 

I love you Sherry

I really love you
