GOOD-BYE
      Rose

You sat erect ... arms held high ... then fell upon the bed
In but a moment ... You were gone ... and not a word was said





THESE WORDS ARE FOR YOU ...

My Beloved

Heart

We never got to say good-bye,
Still I live with no regret
For I can't recall ... Can You my Love?
The day where we'd forget ...

To reaffirm those bonds we made,
Often subtle in the ways
Inviting smiles ... a knowing touch,
Adding promise to our days

Days of joy and some with tears,
Those many years we shared
Yet seldom came a sunset,
That it wasn't known we cared

Love expressed as more than habit,
Instead confessed sincere
Endearments offered from our hearts,
How many did we hear?

We made no wounds with bitter words,
No scars were left behind
The love we knew ... So strong yet gentle,
Was never that unkind

I speak of we ... but it was You
Who lifted us above,
The heartache life would sometimes bring
How Grand! ... You were to love

I'll keep Your memory in my heart,
Till last I close these eyes
The day I pray You'll light my way,
To a Realm of ...

" No Good-byes "

Love John
