| The Long Sleep You slowly slipped away from me, one long and lonesome night. God came and took your hand. I know you tried but lost the fight. I watched them lower you into the ground. My feet wanted to fly. To pound, stomp, and open the box to make it all a nasty lie. How do I live without you here? It isn�t fair that you should die. There are those of us who can�t go on, We remain stuck and life passes by. I find it hard to believe you�re gone. I feel your presence all the time. I pick up the phone to place a call. Your voice is here, but only in my mind. Will we meet again on some distant shore? How many tears before I see you? Will we talk of things we did before? Life, laughter, and love that finds so few. I know it�s time to let you go. The gates of heaven await. I can�t hold on to what is gone, For now, life on earth is my fate. By; Kathie Stehr June 25, 2001 |
