It hurts today

It hurts today Stephen
It hurt that you're gone
To know that without you
The world still goes on

That eight months tomorrow
You ended the fight
You hurt too much here
So you went toward the light

I miss you each day
You're held in my heart
No matter the distance
We're never apart

Each moment is cherished
Each day you were here
It strengthens my soul
When I hold you near

To reach out my heart
To the man beside me
You said that is where
That you always would be

I hold you

The angel of my morning
The grace that filled my day
The blessing that I counted
A gift in every way.

I found in you since we first met
An instant trusting friend
And what we had it grew so strong
That it will never end

We found a friend and, yes, a love
That grew each passing year
And it is what sustains me now
And helps me hold you near

For near to me you need to stay
So I can make it through
I'll face the world I need to face
And do what I must do

For though the path turned rocky
with the choices that you made
Our love it is a miracle
That time can never fade

Love lives in me

Why don't I have
A broken heart
My whole world is
Torn apart

My heart stayed whole
And it sustains
With faith of seeing
You again

And meeting on
A distant shore
And holding close
forever more

For souls that share
That inner place
Can not be severed
By time or space

And my heart
It does not break
Although this life
You did forsake

Because I know
That love lived on
And your light
Will guide me on

And help me do
The things I must
For in our love
I place my trust

Yes, I will miss you
Every day
Each hour since
You went away

But my heart
Remains in love
You fill it up
Now from above

And ease my soul
With peace and grace
Quiet my tears
In your embrace

holding my hand
Reaching past
Strengthen my steps
Till I join you at last

I awaken each day

Each day I awaken
And know you're not here
Reminds me to hold
All my memories dear

For each word that's spoken
And each gentle touch
Is a part of the man
That I loved so much

Your sadness, your laughter
Your pain and your joy
Your memories of family
When you were a boy

The trust that was ours
The unfailing belief
Is what helps me now
In the depth of my grief

To know, though you're gone
You look down from above
Easing my sorrows
With unending love

Early mist

In the early mist of morning
When I rise to greet the day
I find that you are with me
As I walk along life's way

As the sun peaks the horizon
And the morning is still new
Then my thoughts will often wander
To the heart and soul of you

When the rain it falls around me
Washing gently on my face
Wishing that they were your kisses
Held secure in your embrace

As the day it settles down
Thoughts of you my burdens lift
Memories and special moments
They are my forever gift

It the twilight of the evening
Sky starts glowing before dark
Knowing in each hour that passes
That your memory leaves its mark

Watch the stars come out at nighttime
Gently twinkling overhead
Wishing that you weren't among them
But here holding me instead.

Love of my heart

Love of my heart
We are never apart
Though you are gone
Our love it goes on

Stronger inside
You standing beside
Holding my hand
Helping me stand

Helping my try
Your own butterfly
I only fly free
When you are with me

Your spirit near
To all you hold dear
Reach past the woe
Cause you had to go

Holding steadfast
Until the last
When I hold you once more
On a distant shore
