The Love You Left Behind

I still read you crawl, A bed at night. Like you're lying next to me. But all I find is empty silence, Where your love used to be. The love you left behind, my darling, Still lives in our son and daughter too. In Charlie's strength And Rosie's smile, I still see you. And though heaven took you from my arms, It could never take your place. I carry you in every heartbeat, Every prayer, every day. Your picture hangs beside the window, And every morning breaks my heart. Because the day God called you home, Was the day I fell apart. Oh, love, You left behind, my darling, Is stronger than the grave. And when God calls me home someday, You'll be the first face that I Embrace. Till then, my love, I'll miss you more than words can Say.
