You Travel to Places of Time already Spent
I
love to hear you laugh and see your smile
But laughter and smiles are becoming few and far between
As you travel to places of time already spent
To visit younger faces who reside there.
I await your return to me
But laughter and smiles are becoming few and far between
As you travel to places of time already spent
To visit younger faces who reside there.
I await your return to me
to
this place of time
to
time yet to spend
On rough roads with many curves,
On rough roads with many curves,
potholes,
and dark crevices
you
travel
wondering aimlessly
wondering aimlessly
as
I await
helplessly
If I could travel with you
If I could travel with you
to
hold your hand
to
guide you
to safety guide you
to safety guide you
to
where I am
I
would
But where you go
But where you go
I
cannot follow
So I await your return
So I await your return
If
only for short visits
For you are
For you are
my
love
my
life
my wife
I love to hear you laugh and see your smile

:'( The family's heart breaks as we take this journey together. We continue to investigate holistic and nutritional solutions and healing. Above all, we seek God for her healing and for His guidance.
