FOR HER SAKE
The empty feeling here is making me very tired
I feel all alone and lonely but more than
retired
At night I lay in bed staring at that cruel
ceiling
It looks like a wide screen shows all past
feeling
I sit up when you are part of that loving
moment
I begin to call but you do not make any
comment
I go to sleep with these fond memories in my
eyes
I long to have that dream that give me the old
ties
Dreams are just dreams far from your
presence
They can’t heal my suffering but act as
penance
I yearn to stroll hand in hand in our back yard
Gaze at the stars and the moon with your card
The card that you gave me when I turned
seventy
That was the most precious gift out of the
plenty
When the moon is up the whole sky then
weeps
Tears flood my thoughts then the heart sleeps
I am left to imagine your touch that gave me
joy
All is so gentle, loving and kind like a child’s
toy
I never expected this to happen not in my
dream
Prince charming is not part of peach and
cream
It was your sweetest smile that melted my
heart
The strong feeling was ingrained in me from
start
Whatever can be the reason for me to feel this
way
I know that strong feeling grows stronger
everyday
All the year I have been praying to grant you
bliss
Every now and then I dream but that too is
amiss
I’m badly wounded and can’t ever heal my
senses
Your passing away broke me into thousand
pieces
No one has any clue of the pain I’ve been
through
It’s hard to guess the sleepless night I did
accrue
Darling you’ve left me with all these
heartaches
Friends see me smiling but can’t feel my aches
I can’t just surrender the pain and let things
go
To ease and cease the misery I need to go slow
My happiness means seeing you happy and
gay
Let me say this once more I love you everyday

sake.
