I MISS YOU--award winner

I MISS YOU


My love, you are in my heart,
My love, so much I miss you.
Though so many years have passed,
Yet I wish I could kiss you.

We had a full life indeed,
Full of love and full of strife.
Yet, in worldly rigmarole
Though we were husband and wife,

We had no time for ourself
Life was always so distraught
But now that you are no more,
You are always in my thought.

I miss you in thought, awake,
I miss you in dream, asleep.
Memories of yester days,
From myself I cannot keep.

I miss you each day and night,
I miss you every moment.
Though I continue to live,
Life now is without ferment.

No more should I rue my fate,
That He snatched away my wife.
I should rather thank the Lord
That He brought her in my life.
