~* Worth A Thousand Words *~

I can almost see you up in Heaven,
And often wonder what it is you see…
Is it as beautiful as they say it is?
Are you looking down on me?

I picture you surrounded,
By a million stars shining bright,
This I do vision often outside,
When I stare at the heavens at night.

As I sit here in this lonely place,
Reflecting on the loss of you, my friend,
I glanced around the empty room,
Then words came to be penned.

In loss there is such an empty place,
You’re gone, and I can no longer see,
Unless of course I use my heart,
Then Willow, you’re here with me.

A picture's worth a thousand words,
Or so it has been said.
And none speaks so truthfully,
As the one I keep beside my bed.

Contained within a frame of gold,
Is a picture of Willow and me,
It's a reminder of all the fun we had,
The things we used to do you see.

The smiles on both our faces,
Revealed the love we felt inside.
The affection that we shared,
Was something we couldn't hide.

But then the inevitable happened,
And God called her to his breast,
She was so weary and tired,
So she went to heaven to rest.

Although you’ve gone to heaven,
Now an angel dancing on a cloud,
You taught me all about friendship,
Ours is forever, this we vowed.

Life is so very different Willow,
I miss our phone calls filled with love,
But I know I’m going to get through this,
With you watching over me from above.
