You take my heart along
when you are gone.
You get away with a bit
of my sunshine too.
Never know quite what to do,
when I’m without you.
Everything seems so incomplete.
No one to remind to wipe their feet.
When I get up early,
no need to shut the door.
No one here to be quiet for.
The days drag on forever
and the nights are too long.
Without you, I don’t feel
like I’m half as strong.
At night when I kneel,
I pray for you dearly
to come back to me,
that God will keep you safely
in His Grace and care.
And that you know I love you,
no matter where you are.

I remember feeling this way, dear Lori. Stay strong in your faith and trust God to have His way.

I always have time for you...

My husband is at the Sturgis Bike Rally in South Dakota. He has gone for many years, I go when my work schedule doesn't conflict. Bike fatalities happen there every year so it is always good to get him back home.
Thanks for commenting. ~L

This touched me so very, very much, my dear friend, Lori. S-o-o-o I take it from this that you didn't run around the house naked as you were going to do. Heh.Heh Good thinking.

Ah Jerry,
What can I say? There may have been that one time I left my dainties in the drier after my shower... but I'll never tell. ~L

Jimmy,
Beings as how you are a master of the mushy stuff (I assume drawing from personal experience) I'm not surprised you could catch the vibe on this one.
