Tender In The Morning Light

Yet tender in the morning light I see your smiling face And though no more beside me now I feel your gentle grace For as the dawning glow turns bright I know that you are near Forever in my memory Within each falling tear Each day begins with you, my love As in my mind you dwell No-one could ever take your place Such heartache never quell You were, still are, the one I love But now I'm older grown I wonder if you'd love me still As I sit here alone So many days I have lived on Since you were by my side So many days of woefulness Through which I've cried and cried How many more must I endure To live through joyless years Now reaching out to meet the end To banish all these tears This life is made for sharing, and To be alone's not right So I would seek a welcome soul To walk with me this night To walk with me and hold my hand To find a sweeter place But yet I deem that such a soul Could you not e'er replace So wait for me, yes wait for me And make the time pass swift That soon I shall with you abide A gift, the sweetest gift ©️15/3/2025 Valerie Dohren
