V12 Canvas of My Love, Don't Feel Sad,

Canvas of My Love ...

I have often sat in pensive mood
And drawn a picture of you!
One who cared and loved and understood
Little complicated me.
You would listen with your heart
And feel my passion
Unspoken words - a chasm
Laid softly aside..
Your dear face and hands
Indelibly patterned on my soul..
The vibrant helping hand
The force that governed my life
And guided me to safety shores...
They still enfold!
You are not with me now
And yet...you are!
Shadows and dreams my cushions
Caressed by darkness
Loneliness and Longings I cannot hide
This painting is you, my Love
I hang it gently in my heart
With pride!

Don't Feel Sad

The time has come for me to leave,
I want you to not feel sad.
Although I go alone right now,
Good times with you I had.

Each one of you held a special place in my heart
And I take my memories with me as I go
Of the wonderful times we spent together
And how I loved you so.

My life to you may/not have seemed long enough
but I laughed and loved and cried.
I don’t want you to give up on living
Just because of the fact that I have died.

Grieve a while for me if grieve you must
Although within your hearts I stay.
Sometime soon I hope you again enjoy
The sunshine of a bright new day.
