I wipe away the tears
As they fall down my face
Replacing them with a smile
Remembering the times we shared
As I sit in my solitude, reminiscing for awhile

Even though the years have added up
It seems like only yesterday
When I held you in my arms
Then you left... to go Heavens way

There are times I pull out the pictures
The ones I deeply cherish, to this day
As I gaze upon your twinkling eyes
I cannot let your memory...
Just simply fade or slip away

I'll carry on, as you would wish me to do
Yet, I'll remember you
Maybe in a poem of words I shall write
Or in a song on the radio
That drifts within the silence
In the stillness of the night

I'll remember you in the starlight
In the blooming of the rose
In the sweetness of the springtime air
When the gentle wind should blow

I'll remember you in the laughter
In all the joys that come along
I'll remember you in your children
As I help them to carry on

I'll remember you... in all the good things
As I go through my daily pace
All the kind and wonderful things you did
Making this world a better place

I'll share all the good, you did
All the kindness, will not simply end
As my hand replaces yours
My own shall now extend

Until my name is called
I'll remember you
I shall think of you with a smile
I will not say, "Goodbye"
For I'm only waiting for awhile
Until we meet again

Have I Ever

Have I ever told you
that if I sit really still and silent
sometimes I like to think
I can hear your heart beating
in time with mine??


Have I ever told you
that when I watch you speak to me
through lines and cords
and bytes and ram
I imagine
your voice
whispering into my ear?


Have I ever told you
that I wait out each day
in anticipation
wanting
only an hour or two
just a seconf in space and time
to feel close to you?


Have I ever told you
that there has been times
when I ached for you
ached for you so badly
that the emotions overwhelmed me...
and so I sat and cried?


Have I ever told you
that sometimes
I will reach out
touching your name
on this cold screen before me
wishing
I could reach in
and pull you to me?


Have I ever told you
that after the first time I heard
the sound of your voice
thousands of miles away
I sat up all night
turning the conversation over and over
in my mind
examining it
like some newly discovered species of flower?


Have I ever told you
that I would give everything up
just for one night
to be able to lay near you
to feel your chest rise and fall
with each breath you take
just to know that you are real?


Have I ever told you
that I dream of you often
I dream of you reaching out
and touching my hand
simply to let me know
that you are there
and everything is okay?


Have I ever told you
have I still yet to tell you....
that I love you?
