Physical presence is not necessary to feel another's love.
***************

I’d hold you … if I could …
and love you … yes, I would.
We’d drown each other in tears
let loose a torrent of fears.
I can and I will
until Comfort comes.

Words can’t ease … what one needs …
as hearts break … tear drops seize
happiness--as ‘life’ goes home.
No more on this earth to roam.
May love hold you, fill
places where hearts hum.

Physically I would …
embrace you … as I should.
We’d share memories … years
let loose laughter, life’s cheers.
I thrive in your heart
though we’re far apart.

Lives pained … blotch Death’s stains …
angels scrub with tears’ rain.
Never say good-bye … just sigh ...
then meet in mansions sky-high.
Reels replay quite kind
in theatres’… minds.

Close your eyes … I’m there
in spirit … everywhere.
Let me shoulder love, pain, rain
pools—waterfalls--of life’s strain.
I’m on bent knees
till sufferings calm, ease.

I will comfort, can,
till He comes … the Man.
