GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

DEDICATED TO JOHN AND ALL SPOUSES WHO HAVE MOVED ON TO A BETTER PLACE.

I HAVE A SECRET CORNER HIDDEN DEEP WITHIN MY MIND
FOR STORING SPECIAL MEMORIES OF A VERY SPECIAL TIME.
IT'S SAVED FOR PRIVATE MOMENTS WHEN I AM FEELING BLUE,
LIKE DARK CLOUDY DAYS WHEN I AM NOT WITH YOU.

I THINK OF HOW YOU HELD ME AND KISSED ME TENDERLY.
I THINK OF YOUR CARESSES, JUST HOW GENTLE YOU COULD BE.
I CLOSE MY EYES AND FEEL THE THRILL OF YOUR LIPS ON MINE,
I WISH THAT YOU WERE STILL HERE TO LOVE ME ALL THE TIME.

THERE'S AN EMPTINESSD HERE NOW, WITH SORROW AND PAIN,
FEELINGS OF SADNESS, GUILT AND HURT STILL REMAIN.
I KNOW I'M MOVING ON HONEY, ONE HOUR AT A TIME,
FOR THE FUTURE IS NO LONGER "OURS", NOW IT'S JUST MINE.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE APART NOW, HUSBAND AND WIFE NO MORE TO BE
MY HEART WILL ALWAYS FILL WITH JOY WHEN I THINK OF MY
SPECIAL MEMORIES.
I HOPE TO FEEL YOUR PRESENCE HERE MORE OFTEN THAT I DO
RIGHT NOW SWEETHEART I'M NUMB AND GOD I SO MISS YOU.

WALK IN HEAVEN'S SUNSHINE, NO MORE PAIN OR SORROW FOR THEE,
GLOW IN GOD'S TRUE LOVE, WHERE YOU SO DESERVE TO BE.
LOOK DOWN UPON ME HONEY WITH PEACE
FORGIVENESS AND LOVE.
PLEASE HELP ME TO REMEMBER ALWAYS THAT I AM
BLESSED FROM SOMEWHERE UP ABOVE.
