A World Without You

As I collected, the children from school yesterday knowing you were far away I wondered what I’d do if you didn’t come home and I had to live without you. The thoughts were so sad they brought tears to my eyes. I don’t think I could go on; I would want to live in a world without you. I couldn’t be that strong. A world without you would be an empty place. There would be no laughter to greet my ears and just the very thought brings tears to my eyes. A world without you, how unhappy I would be, you fill my every moment with love and understanding. You make me feel safer just knowing that you are here. A world with out you, I just cannot imagine that. The thoughts are so painful. There would be no joy within our happy home, and the walls would be bare. Just thinking of it brings tears to my eyes, but I so happy because you are still here and always will be here at my side. 6 March 1996 Author's Note: While sorting through some old papers this week I found this poem I had written fourteen years ago. I hope you like this little discovery. David Harris 23 May 2010
