Each Day

I sit alone, looking around our room, but where are you
I walk through the house looking for a glimpse of you

I lie in bed, wishing you were lying beside me
I see our grandchildren who want to sit upon your knee

Our daughter is broken, lost without her friend
There is only sadness and grief without end

Each day for forty-nine years we were a loving caring pair
Each day I could see you, each day smell your hair

Each day we would hug, each day we would kiss
Each day we would share in marital bliss

Each day whether together or far apart
Each day we knew we were in each other’s heart

Each day whether I was good or slack
Each day you were with me having my back

Through better or worse we loved one another
We held and laughed and supported each other

Through richer or poorer we made it all do
To ensure each other had what they were due

Through sickness or health we tried to live on
But I have no desire to, since you are gone

God grant me the peace of living without you
God grant be the strength to live on without you

Jesus has told me He is standing beside you
The Holy Spirit is present to love and to guide you

Although I wish my time ended before
I guess I am jealous of all that is yours

So enjoy your walk with Jesus without me
Until I join you for walks for all of eternity
