THOUGHT OF YOU
The thought of you floods my mind today,
Your presence fills my life to this day.
Walking away in to your world silently,
You lived your life the disciplined way.
I can feel you always around me,
Holding my hand, the way you do.
I can feel the strength pervade me,
Guiding, calming, lifting me when blue.
Strive I did, to stand up to your expectations,
I dissented and wounded you in many situations.
Graceful you were in my peeves,
I, miserable in displaying affections.
You gave me a life, a method to live,
The purpose I ignored, and failed to give.
I wish you stayed with me, alive,
A better life we could enjoy, and thrive.
Many comment, that I now look like you,
I miss the warmth, the love and the gentle man.
Selfish I am, still asking you,
Give me strength, to be, like you, the man.
Tears well’d my eyes uncontrolled,
Of sadness, of joy, of comfort, of peace.
A few words can never do justice,
To a feeling that can never be expressed.
I hope to meet one day in the beautiful world of yours,
Happy you will be embracing me in your arms.
I will be comforted by just being with you!
For now, I will find peace just with the thought of you!
