Solemn Farewell

Laugh and I'm feeling fine.
But I still cry inside.
Twist and turn and agonize.
Rise and fall like the changing tides.
Wanting to relive moments past.
With thoughts of taking a different path.
Life's so fragile with such highs and lows.
In pleasure or agony as we repose.

Too often we remiss the gifts we're given,
Only to lament when those gifts are taken.
Cathy my love I miss you so much.
Your kiss, your warmth, your sweet loving touch.

Those all that feel and know my anguish,
I give you thanks and the best of my wishes.
It's human nature to commiserate,
I for one, deeply appreciate.
Be not sadden on my behalf,
God has tasked me to walk this path.

No one can say how long one should mourn,
It all depends on how deeply you're torn.
In time the wound would be hard to see,
but the scars will always be with me.

I search for solace over valles and hills,
I love you Cathy I mourn you still.
Life goes on and I'll persevere,
Every passing day will bring me nearer.
Dreams and hopes will set me free.
I pray to God that it will be.
