I wake up every day
And reach over for you.
You aren't there, I say
Now what will I do?
As I remember the events
I start and give another try
I lift my eyes those moments
And scream to the sky
Why did you take my wife?
What did we do wrong?
We were finally enjoying life
We were trying for so long
As I lay there and thinking
Seeing the good times we had
The memories begin flowing
I repent and keep growing sad.
A warm feeling spreads around
Like the bright sun on my face
I feel light in the body and sound
Like I'm floating with her in space.
I float there and wonder much
What could the warmth be?
Not something I can touch
And surely not able to see.
I picture her hand on mine
Warmth spreads to my fingers
I smile and laugh with my divine
That lovely feeling still lingers
That warm feeling brings joy
Letting me see I am not alone
Everything I seem to enjoy
Because I feel I’m not alone
On any cold and wintery night
When I long for her loving touch
When I feel so desperate and light
I haven't wanted anything so much
She will be there to lift me up
To show me I still have her love
I have her memories in my cup
We always shared our pure love
As our children grow and learn
They accomplish new things
I can feel her joy and of concern
And the warmth that she brings
My memories of her are great
But her touch is better to have
When I can't feel it straight
I just write a poem and behave
For I know she is watching me
She's always helping me to learn
To live in the world alone you see
But for me never with any yearn
I have felt her touch always
Over the last so many days
I have my heart which says
I am like her in many ways
She will always be with me
This I've come to firmly believe
I can’t find anyone to live with me
New love my heart can’t receive
I keep looking to the wide sky
And keep raising my voice
When will the earth meet the sky
But sadly I hear no joyful noise
I feel the warmth on my skin
And know that she is right near
It’s not just as an outside spin
I know she is somewhere hear
She's telling me it's good and great
To keep moving on with my life
And I should not let anyone create
Any loneliness and emotional strife
So, now when I think of her lore
All the fond memories are clear
They don't hurt me anymore
Because I know she is right near
She is in my heart has not parted
In all my thoughts and all my fun
For we know that we aren't separated
Both our souls are still ticking as one
I place a poetry for her in the file
On the desktop with her own name
Telling her that I do have a smile
That she must learn to do the same
As I walk outside my home to the pond
A pretty butterfly flies there overhead
It tips the wings as if to create a respond
Your Pretty Lotus is still alive, she isn’t dead.
