If you are in a better place, With blue sky and beautiful lake, You would be the brightest star after a thunder, Instead of laid to rest six feet under. If time will ease my pain, I should have no tear when I hear your name; My heart is still in a million pieces, Instead of strolling down memory lane. If only you can come back for one more day, I long to see your smile and handsome face; Please fill the house with your humor and laughter, Instead of leaving me to survive in this empty gutter. Now I know how short-lived happiness could be. I miss the days you belonged to me; Cherished memories of our love keeps you near. The courage you instilled in me chases away my fear. Samuel L.
