Your Beddie In Heaven

One year ago on this saddest of days, I had to tell you goodbye;

I did this so very reluctantly, with tears pouring out from my eyes!

I leaned down to kiss you one final time, and then I had to let go;

The time had now come that we had to part, how I did this I never will know!

For I loved you much more than I loved myself, my soul I had pledged just to you;

Now without you to lay here right by my side, what was I going to do!

How could I ever learn how to live, without your most tender felt touch;

How could I ever accept your great loss, the soulmate I loved oh so much!

I thought that I’d possibly lose of my mind, insanely torn so in two;

Crying out for something to happen, somehow be reunited with you!

Then a message arrived to help ease the pain, you sent it from far up above;

It said “Daddy please write lots of your poetry, and immortalize me with your love”!

And so it’s been for this whole lonely year, the pen doth out might the sword;

It saved my life to write poems of you, as you’re living up there with the Lord!

I’m sure that you are so comfortable, in your beddie by His pearly gate;

And when it comes my time to join you again, I know it is there that you’ll wait!
