just about where I want to be

To never hear your voice
To never feel your touch
To never see your smile
To never listen you your advice
To never have you as my partner
To never have a shoulder to cry on
To never have you to dig in piles of scraps
with all the oohs and aahs
To never have a chance to say I love you
To never have your arms around me or mine around you
To never have your nose for an Eskimo Kiss
Your life is over, and mine still is
I loved you then, I love you now
So rest in God's hand
I'm back far behind
We will meet in God's land
And all the nevers will all be passed by

scg: i am both touched and awed at the same time... the last line is absolutely beautiful... your mother is to be commended for her beautiful expression of heart poured into paper... now i see where her two daughters get their talent

sincerely,
jerome the mysterious priest

A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

this is so sad..but beautifully written...the pain of losing a loved one is hard to bear...but we must remember that they are in a far better place than we..
