Pictures

I hold your pictures in my hand
as if they were life itself
Some torn, some bent, some broken glass
where I swept them off the shelf

But now that anger it has passed
and tears they fill my eyes
I know you never meant to go
I too am dead, inside

Why could we not have had more time
together you and I
Before your sickness came along
and took you from my side

You fought so hard to stay with me
and smiled through the pain
So beautiful and brave you were
sunshine amongst the rain

Always i will remember
and treasure what we had
The mem'ry of our time together
makes me happy, makes me glad

I wish that I could follow you
but here for now must stay
To tell our baby of her mom
and why she went away

And tears come now not just to me
as Rachael starts to cry
I will kiss and hold her close for you
goodbye my love, goodbye

Oh my, I want to cry along with you. This was wonderfully and tastefully done. Thank you for opening up to us! I even picture your write in letter form - and even without the stanzas. However, it is still wonderful. Fantastic!
