Just One Breath,
                Just One Tear

There you are in my vision,
A beauty so rich and rare,
Just one breath I breathe,
Just another warm tear.
The sorrow and the heart throbs,
I feel deep within,
When I think of the past,
Where do I begin.
You’ve made a difference love,
One I’ll cherish through life.
The day I was honoured,
When I became your wife.
Now with years are slowly passing,
I see and feel the age at best.
I feel tears more often falling,
And my heart throb as I rest.
Thinking of the future,
What it may hold for us dear,
I feel one last breath I breathe,
I share just one more tear.
You hold me as you’ll never let go,
You still snuggle me at night,
Although I worry for the many tomorrows,
You whisper softly, for now it’s alright.
