ON THAT BIG BRIGHT STAR

I’m supposed to say goodbye
My words are in the tears I cry
My thoughts are in every pain I’m going through
Oh Darling, I so love you
This is worse than a theft
You have gone and I’m left
But I know you won’t forget
The memories we made together
I will love you forever
Each laugh we had
I shall treasure
But I’m looking back
My forward seems so black
I just don’t know how I’m going to react
When in time, I’m supposed, expected, to laugh
I so miss your voice around my every being
I miss the world you gave me for the seeing
I need the whispers you created for the hearing
I ache each night when I get into bed
The empty space I totally dread
You were the food that fed
The kindness in every word you said
You were the Dad to our children
Gave them a world that was safe to live in
And now you are in heaven
I know you will still be caring
And I hope, watching
So, for that I shall go on
As I need my family and friends
As they too, need me
But I wish you would come back to me
I miss you so much
I wish I could reach out
 And it would be you I would touch
Right now, I want to shout
Would you hear me?
If I smile or cry
Can you see me?
So many questions, like why?
Why now did you have to die?
Wait for me my Darling
However far you are
Shining I’m sure
On that big bright star!
