Thank you so very much my dear sweet friend Susie.

I STILL MISS YOU

Lord, please hold on tightly, to my loved one that I lost,
The nights are cold and lonely, like the freezing from a frost.
I close my eyes at night, hoping sleep will overcome...
Hoping that by morning, my body won't feel numb.

Oh, God, how hard it is at times, even after all these years,
The pain just never goes away... nor do all the tears.
I can't seem to focus, on the things I know I must,
For I still see the face, of the one I love and trust.

The holidays are rough, Dear God, even though I try my best,
But I can't seem to forget the day, I laid my love to rest.
I read a book, I watch TV, I try to write a letter,
Hoping and praying, each day will soon get better.

Thanksgiving is soon to be here, then Christmas on its way;
It's so difficult to celebrate since my love has gone away.
Forgive me, Lord, for I am weak, and I wish to be strong,
Please take this sadness from my heart; replace it with a song.

Oh Lord, help me remember, You, are only a prayer away,
And when I keep my faith in You, I know I'll be okay.
So as the holidays approach my loved one I express,
Not a day on earth goes by, that I fail to think of us.

And now I must be thankful, for God, I love You so
Just knowing You are there for me, I owe so much to You.
Now in the quiet of the night, the snow falls from above,
As I look into the Heavens, I still miss my precious love.

Tonight I'll light a candle, for the one I miss so much;
Knowing I can never feel that tender loving touch.
But when I leave this world and join my love again,
I'll know in my heart, in God's hands he'll remain.
