The Wish Came True

Last night my wish came true
You were there, right in front of me
I looked deep into your eyes,
Exchanging knowing smiles,
And at long last,
I tasted the passion of your kiss.

We held each other in a warm and loving embrace
Determined to never let go.
I Love You! I Love You!
My wish has come true
You are here.

It's a miracle they said
How does one come back after they've passed?
I didn't care, you were here,
I saw your smile, I heard your voice,
I felt your warm touch, hand in hand

You came to help heal my heart
To say I must go on,
That you are fine, and I will be, too.
A loving bond never breaks
Our hearts are joined forever

A light comes through the window
I stir, and slowly open my eyes
My wish came true, if only for a while
In my dreams you visit.
Come back soon, my love.

And the World Keeps Spinning

The world spins and we go along
There are sunny days, cloudy days and dark days of rain.
We take our steps, happy steps, sad steps, steps of distress
And the World keeps Spinning.

The sun comes out and shines on our lives
Happiness overcomes us and fill our hearts with joy
How do we keep this lovely sunny weather?
And the World keeps Spinning.

As we go through life, we run into cloudy days
They happen to everyone, and we seek to find a ray of light.
Some days the sun returns and some days we move right into dark days of rain.
And the World keeps spinning.

Then we go our separate ways.  Your world ends.
The gray cloudy days surround me. Light is not to be seen.
I try and try, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time
And the World keeps spinning.

I was caught in the hurricane of grief. Tears, so many tears.
But smiles and good memories come from family and friends.
I move forward, one step at a time. Cautiously I focus on the ray of light
And the World keeps spinning.
