Since You've Been Gone

I started your quilt the day you died
Tears stained the colorful material
I cried and cried until I was done
I displayed the quilt for others to view
A stranger walked up to me and asked about you
Turns out you both worked together
He didn't know you had died
I told him about you're memorial
The stranger said politely he had to go
I was alone to remember you

The day of the memorial I was solo
The church was standing room only
A stranger whispered to me "come sit with me"
Turns out you worked with him
Now I wasn't alone to remember you
Again he said politely I have to go
I read your name every year on December 1st
I started a book to honor the people who are gone
I had your face drawn for the book with a rose
The rose symblolizes me
I wanted something I love close to you

As kids we listened to Barry White's music.
Especially the song 'Can't Get Enough Of Your Love"
How true that is
THEN AND NOW

LOVE GING
