My Tribute To Harley

Harley, my love, I miss the morning hug
and the gentle squeeze
The smile that makes my day
and the laughter that seemd to ride the breeze.

So I wander through each room
feeling the memories we shared
the soft touch of your hands on mine
that told me how much you cared.

The eyes that seemed so very wise
yet spoke their love to me
the smell of your after shave
and yes, the suffering you didn't want me to see.

Who's going to hold me now
and tell me not to be afraid
that we have miles to go
now missing the plans we made.

If I could have another hour with you
I would crawl into your arms once more,
and forget the troubles, that were knocking
so close to our door.

But that cannot be
you went beyond my reach today
I know, and I know it well
you were just too tired to stay.

Yesterday I was your wife,
but now I'm all alone
this is not a parting of my choice
and the grief is the worse I've ever known.

You were my rock, my anchor
the husband of my youth, my love
with tears so hot that will not stop
You're all I can think of.

The days will pass
and the grief will lessen some far off day
but for now, just for now
all I know is, you're gone a way.

Don't walk to fast, my love
I'll be coming along too.
There are things I must do I guess
Before I can come to you.

But I'll be there
When God says it is so
Then I shall look up and smile
For you're where I want to go.

Death could not take your love
You left that here with me
That I might share it with every one
The way it should be.

But for this moment, for this time
My heart is searching for relief
For I can't picture me with out you.
All I know right now is a bittersweet grief
