MY PROMISE

   I don't think it could happen, and I don't expect it can, but I would do most anything to see you once again.  And oh how I would love to have things like they used to be, cause each day that I had you was a gift from God to me.  I promise this to God, I wouldn't keep you very long, I'm not asking for a day, maybe an hour is too long.  But only for a moment, to say I Love You So, and maybe He'd allow a hug before I let you go.  Didn't know that this would happen. Didn't know this was the end.  I never got to see your face, or hear your voice again.  So I don't think what I'm asking is so very hard to do.  Cause if it can't be real God, then in my dreams will do.  It wouldn't take too long to ask you what I want to know.  How happy you are in the arms of one who loves you so.   Can you hear me when I talk to you, or feel my love so strong?  Can you come to me and comfort me, when nights are much too long?  Always wished that time could stand still, never liked this growing old.  Wanted to be with my children so that I could watch them grow.  But things they seem so different now, those feelings aren't so true.  Each day that passes by now is a day closer to you.  Death cannot kill what never dies.
