Your Place In My Heart

All gone you are
but I still feel you
in my heart,
I often visit your place
and speak to you,
in the tender peace
unlike the last time
of fear and alarm.

Forgive my trembling voice
my teary eye, my despair,
I know you would have just
smiled and ruffled my hair.

But I stand alone, in silence
and take comfort
from the birds that sing,
I´ll always bring fresh flowers
my beautiful friend,
your place will always be Spring.
