I HAVE WAITED FOR YOU….

I have waited for you,

for many long years,

despairing and lonely,

with eyes full of tears.

You've left me and promised

your early return,

in freshest of bloom

for you I did yearn.

Your tenderly nearness

I yearned for so much,

your smile and kind eyes,

your sweet voice and touch.

Through illness and hardship,

alone and despairing,

my heart ached so much

from all my yearning.

My prayers were sent

to wish you keep well

and to wish you near me

to God I did tell.

The years have been fleeting,

I've been through them yearning,

with praying so hard

for your returning.

I have waited for you,

now I am ill and so sore

and you've come to my bedside

but I don't need you any more!

FRIEND, THE WORLD IS GREY NOW........

Friend, the world is grey now,

so sudden, overnight.

The joys, intensely thought now

are for us out of sight!

Friend, you feel alone now,

lonely and so cold,

I think we are at end now,

aged, so sick and old.

Friend what is to do now,

we've lived a life so bold,

we've reached for all success now

and find that we're now old.

Friend it is a dream now,

the life we've lived of old.

Mem'ries fade, they do so now

and soon we will be cold!

May I invite you to leave a comment?
