When you left me so long ago
My heart writhed in Agony
The pain of separation
Seeped through each pore of my being
Leaving my senses numb and sore
Yet my heart never stopped hoping
And a tiny ray of faith
Kept my love alight.
For I knew deep inside
That some day
You will come my way!

Today, when you are back
All I can say is that
My Love has prevailed
And my prayers answered
Filling my soul with Joy and Ecstasy
Life for me has come a full circle
And in the twilight years of my life
I am at peace with myself
As I am ready to leave this world
With a smile on my lips
And prayers in my heart!
