You Are Never Gone
I sat beside you when on death’s doorstep you
lay,
I set my head upon your chest as I bowed to
pray.
The world to me was shut off the silence was
thick,
Alone just you and I and your heart’s
rhythmic tick.
I block out all my pain and loss that my heart
feels,
I concentrate deeply on the tick your heart
reveals.
I sit here now all day and hear that old
rhythmic sound,
I contemplate you are gone but the thought
seems profound.
The time has taken you away to enter the
Heaven’s Gate,
I will stay here at my site until your journey is
complete.
It is eighteen months now since you have
passed away,
Wounds are healing slowly but the pain
doesn’t go away.
I long so much to hear your voice to see your
smiles glow,
I hear you in my dreams but your voice hasn’t
got that flow.
I lay my head upon my pillow when my
sorrows are too strong,
I hear your heart’s rhythmic tick and know
you’re never gone.
@
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
No one can ever fill.
