Lonely

No-one now to share your dreams, To walk beside those mountain streams, To hold your ailing, trembling hand, To write sweet nothings in the sand; No-one to whisper “I love you”, To keep you warm the winter through, To share with you first buds of spring, To show their love in a wedding ring. No-one at home for you to say, “I missed you my love, at work today” To sit together at evening meal, To tell each other just how you feel, No-one there to forgive you gladly, All those times you behaved so badly, To visit your own sweet secret place, Suspended somewhere in time and space. No-one knows how much you cared, Just you two and the time you shared, Memories now left of bygone years, The good times, bad, and all the tears. No-one realizes just how lonely, When ‘we two’… becomes ‘me only’, God loans us soul mates, for a fleeting while, Through His loving Grace…once again we’ll smile.
