Today I thought
I'd lament my loss
Of losing you
To eternities afar
But not a word
I could write on you
That'd sadden your soul
And hurt my heart.
Although few drops
Here and there
Did rain upon
This page of log
Eventually a smile
Did sneak itself
Through my eyes
And out of the fog.
Memories of you
I thought would tear
Me in half
And damn my soul
But as they flew
Into my thoughts
They filled the hole
Your smile had bore.
And hence I have
Given birth
To a newborn faith
Of life and love
A God indeed
Has kept you safe
I tell myself
With all my power.
And so I hope
To leave this world
Of ours and meet
On clouds above
Recall our lives
With tears of joy
And fix our hearts
Sore from hurt.
