All Thats Left

I only have a picture now
A frozen piece of time
To remind me of how it was
When you were here, and mine

I see your smiling eyes
Each morning when I wake
I talk to you, and place a kiss
Upon your lovely face

How much I miss you being here
I really cannot say
The ache is deep inside my heart
And never goes away

I hear it mentioned often
That time will heal the pain
But if I'm being honest
I hope it will remain

I need to feel you constantly
To get me through the day
I loved you so very much
Why did you go away?
The angels came and took you
That really wasn't fair
They took my one and only Son
My future life. My heir

If only they had asked me
If I would take your place
I would have done so willingly
Leaving you this world to grace

You should have had so many years
To watch your life unfold
And in the mist of this
Watch me, your Mum grow old!

I hope you're watching from above
At the daily tasks I do
And let there be no doubt at all
I really do love you
