my mind wanders and travels back to nicer scenes
The time grows closer for me to go on to another life
only this time I will be alone and without my loving wife
Tears fill my eyes as I think of the burden this will place
and I know sadness will be etched on her lovely face
Oh how I wish we could go together in our sleep
and then I would know she wouldn't be sad and weep
Pain wracks my body as the cancer tears at soul
I must grit my teeth and hide it as I don't want her to know
She will be coming soon and I must look my best
even though leaving tears my heart from my chest
Here she comes the one who has brought me so many smiles
we have traveled along lifes highway for oh so many miles
She touches my cheek and I feel her love wash over me
oh Lord please hide the tears so she doesn't see
I reach for her hand and let her know I still have the touch
and hope she knows that I love her so very very much
Ahhhh I couldn't hide that one from her and she saw the pain
I must not let that happen again, it I must tame
She leans to kiss me and I see her eyes search mine
and I see she knows this will be for the final time
So I kiss her and smile to let her know its okay
and slowly fade into whiteness to see her another day...
