HEALING

In my arms your head upon my chest
Comforting you as you wept
Time stopped after what you saw
Your lover's death so fresh so raw

To feel a loss so deep and profound
Trying to find meaning, understanding
Lost confused and scared almost too much
In that moment you honestly couldn't bare such
A fight to be held to accept my loving touch

Feeling all that needed to be let go
Holding on so tight not to slip away
Finding the strength to face each new day
Finally relaxing into the comfort tears unending
Knowing our connection so pure spirits blending

Now a few years on
Seeing you in a new girls arms
Your smile so sweet and full
Living again after letting go
Such a joy to watch your love flow

I held you once in tender healing
Now overjoyed to see you holding on
Letting in another beautiful love
Know your angel smiles from above

Living as she would of wanted, expected
Life went on even though memories remain
Healing into the future to open your heart
Embracing life cherishing your new start

Her essence remains deep within your soul
Now your heart infinite expands to love again
Feeling new and fresh so much healing done
As our eyes meet we smile knowing all it took
Now your spirit is sparkling with a glowing look

And life breathes on once again in renewal...
