How I Long.....

I woke up, listening for the sounds
Just to hear them no more
The little noises are gone
The chatter is no more

Without much thought, I fix a plate
Peek out of the door, to look for You
I call your name to no avail..

I picked up your favorite snack today
Caught myself and put them back
A deadly pause, a single tear
Trying to get composed and get back on track

Thinking of all the things
I used to say
I laugh as I remember you fighting to get your way
The complaining and fighting that we did
I ache for a moment of that now

How I long to hold your hand
Gently stroke your cheek
Tuck you in and watch you sleep

Each thought shall be a star
To be placed into the sky
Look up and see my sweet
Sparkles of Love from me to you

For as each day turns into Night
Look up my sweet
For it is my Love for you
That You Will See...!!!

Oh How I long...................
