The leaves are falling to the ground
And in the woods there's not a sound.
I am looking all around
to see if you could still be found.
This was your place, your time and space.
I can always see your face,
You are here anytime I need
When I have troubles and can't succeed.
Just as you were in life my man,
If only I could hold you again.
I hope the Lord will hold you tight,
And see how hard that you did fight.
With that said, I'll say good night,
I'll love you till I see the light.

Poetry: If you were gone
You Without Me
Oh what can it be
When I see you without me
The uneasiness of it all
And wrestling with my heart
Of being alone
We only met two years ago
But you are a constant in my life
The one thing that keeps me steady
When everything else is full
If you were gone
My life would be so much simpler
No calling to check on you
No going to pick up your mail
No going to pick
While I am here with you,
Close to my heart you will stay.
Never did I imagine
A love so fine.
With you,
My heart sings.
Because
by Helen Stuart
If you were gone
I'd have no reason to listen
For pick-up motors roaring
Into the driveway.
No smell of cigars
On your flannel
