As I flip through the pages of my mind
I find the thoughts of you entwined
I search for some way to confine
These elusive memories of our times

I reach for this book of ours in this piercing light
And find that it has not been written right with strength of flight right
What can turn this story around?
I adjust myself silently for the let down

I am not befuddled I am just reacting to
The pages in my mind that belong to you
I am exploring the losses and the gains
I am raising questions in hopes of finding another plan

Now as I look inside and read these written words
I know that all that was said and did was with love
I can no longer resist the joy
We have endured testing the ploy

That took it all to another level
I rush thru these pages still unsettled
But I still can’t believe it has interfered
With the love we had my dear

Who has asserted the biggest authority over this book?
And so in doing has recaptured the feelings that it took
And confirmed a lasting love
Yes, this book has been handed down from above

As I relaxed and read these pages again
I find that I have been left with a real true friend
And so say a prayer and utter amen
He has always been a witness to my meager end.
