As I prayed to be reunited with you to say I care,<\/span><\/p>\n

The stars lit up the night to make me fully aware,<\/span><\/p>\n

The cold cold wind seemed to warm just a touch,<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the warmth of love for the one I love so much,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her eyes of hazel green are circled in heaven\u2019s blue,<\/span><\/p>\n

Lips of sweet red weaken me so every word is true,<\/span><\/p>\n

A month ago I held her picture near to me and prayed,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve aged ten years and my black hair has grayed,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If how I feel is how I\u2019m gonna be forever more I\u2019m sad,<\/span><\/p>\n

Lately every day is worse than the worse day I\u2019ve had,<\/span><\/p>\n

After all I\u2019ve been through somehow my love is still within,<\/span><\/p>\n

A sweet kiss goodbye pushed true love\u2019s merge to begin,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am what\u2019s left from wars annihilation of my youth,<\/span><\/p>\n

I actually survived beyond man\u2019s end to tell the truth,<\/span><\/p>\n

A photograph now tattered and worn knows too much,<\/span><\/p>\n

The pain my heart has endured longing for her touch,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just a soft touch from her fingertips is to say I love you,<\/span><\/p>\n

For I and I alone can read her every motion and sway too,<\/span><\/p>\n

She came to me as I slept at life\u2019s end ready to pass on,<\/span><\/p>\n

For she reads me too as no other could or I\u2019d be gone,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To stand in the summer sunshine with her will elevate me,<\/span><\/p>\n

Into what\u2019s known as the beyond for its more than we see,<\/span><\/p>\n

She and I know it\u2019s that place where true love can dwell,<\/span><\/p>\n

Not all can answer the call as true love, but it is how I fell,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Long ago I gave my heart to her as I had no need to roam,<\/span><\/p>\n

She I will seek out for unknown she has delivered me home,<\/span><\/p>\n

These hospital grounds do hold pain and keep death at bay,<\/span><\/p>\n

But this treasure of tattered photo and I will go home today.<\/span><\/p>\n
