Where I Belong

For my Husband...Allan

My heart...ever tattered

Misses you

My Soul...still in tact

Trusts my Lord

To lift me gently...as he did with you

And place me where I belong

Back in your arms

Safe...cared about and loved unconditionally

I look to the Sunshine and my hope is restored
And ignore the dark clouds 

That try to keep me bound

To nothing in particular

All that was beautiful in my dreams

No longer exists

There is no joy where there is no you

I don't wonder if you're happy

Because I know you are

My need to tell you of my life since you...

Is strong and ever present

In a mind that is half full of disappointment

And half void due to my will

I know...

I am aware...

That I live because I have to

And love because I need to

Emptiness unseen...

Trauma not noticed...

Yet love for you is constantly refreshed

These thoughts arise from a living soul

That whispers daily to my dying heart...

Be still...all will be well.
