Oh John! My John!

  How my heart longs

  to see your kind eyes

  to look upon that boyish smile

  to hear that booming laugh

  I yearn to have your body next to mine

  to feel the comfort of your loving embrace

  to have your strong arms wrapped around me

  to hear the sound of your reassuring voice

  Like the scent of you in our home,

  the pain of your loss still lingers

  My heart will always ache for you

  for our love was without boundaries.

Oh Mary! My Mary!

   How I wish I could be there

   to touch your beautiful face

   to wipe away all your tears

   to erase your every fear

   I wish I had the chance

   to tell you how much I love you  

   to kiss you as if I knew it were the last

   to wrap you in my arms like never before

   I would walk away from heaven’s gate,

   just to gaze at your lovely face

   and lock you in a never-ending embrace

  My Love! My Mary!
