Life and Joy
Six
years ago today they laid my love to rest.
On
a day just like today we said good-bye.
I
felt so cold and empty inside
Little
did I know that with death and sorrow
I
would find life and joy.
The
summer skies have turned to grey
And
the wind carries old memories.
As
I watch children play nearby
I
wonder if you know.
If
you see the life and joy you left behind.
Your
eyes.
Your
smile.
Your
caring, loving manner.
All
these and more I see with each passing day.
As
the sky brightens I feel a small hand in mine.
And
as I look down into his eyes
And
feel the warmth of his smile,
I
know you see the life and joy
You
left me that day.
