Dedicated to Alvin Miller

 

Living without you

The hardest task of all

Days turn into weeks, then months

And still I stand, I fall.

 

Memories of you in my mind

Thoughts of you every day

I just wish I could turn back the time

When we would see the day and play.

 

Things that mattered once

Don’t seem to count to me

Sometimes I just see blanks

On a paper I write; he and she.

 

What I wouldn’t give for this moment

To see your face once more

Where pain is separated from us

Where there is no heaven’s doors.

 

It’s almost here; the date

You left this life for good

I am taking step by step

But life’s not as it should.

 

I hear your cries of pain

Your desperate plea to be free

I carry this photo in my heart

As close as close can be.

 

I know that you are healed

From M.S.A. the beast

I know you are with God

Full of smiles and gentle peace.

 

I have to remind myself

That where that light had shone

Could once again shine for me

As I will never walk alone.
