Trying and Crying

it’s been far too long since I kissed your cheek

my heart is broken and my eyes they seek

your touch is gone with nothing in replace

your smile, your laugh, a glimpse of your face

they say I must learn to accept this grief

to understand I am told, is part of the belief

things I thought forever, are taken away

can you explain this, is what I now pray

to think of happier times gone by

is it right that now, they make me cry

you are happy I see in heavens take

this helps to keep my mind from break

so young, so beautiful, how do you explain

that you are gone, and I must remain

when I know this sense, a visit is mine

the mystery will fade and love is our time

the mind is capable of only so much

again to remember, I miss your touch

to accept is for, my heart to give in

being happy again , seems such a sin

to think of us in eternal bliss

for that is what I truly miss

I will learn, and listen, and understand

so one day again I can hold your hand
