Back

WALK BESIDE ME

You’ve left my world
yet your aura lingers still…
I feel your ever presence
believing it’s your will—

To never quite desert me
crossing to the other side,
leaving just an open wound
of grief I must abide.

I see you in a shadow
from the corner of my eye,
and feel you sitting near me
in the bedroom when I cry.

You walk with arms around me
as we tarry in the lane,
remembering the early years
of love that shall remain.

Death can never separate
two hearts that beat as one
for God brought us together,
His will on Earth was done.

My hands reach out for yours
in a grasp that we may share
all that life has left for me
until I join you there.
