"THE LOVE"

It is but a memory,

Of a life so rich and full
I could not begin to compare
For I am empty of such richness ~

For I met and knew you
A light in a dark world
Hope was held out to me
I was raised above the waters ~

Oh how I did not know
The gift of time was such
To never see or live again
Rather to stand down ~

I remember with heavy heart
My failure to comprehend
What you were trying to tell me
In a fragile state of mind ~

As I review the decades
That passed by swiftly
I hold onto tightly
The Love I learned from you.
