Our Precious Life Together

We often talked about that night we first met
And laughed at how easily it could have been missed
We felt fate had such a strong part in our meeting
As after all I was defensive at your first greeting
Your perseverance however came through
And I finally agreed to go out with you

You were so different from anyone else that I’d known
Compassion and kindness you were for ever showing
You helped me to believe in myself once again
And made me realize that my strength was within
With patience and guidance you helped set me free
From the bind of lost love that was not meant to be

We decided to move and start our life afresh
My boys became yours and you did not protest
Our love for each other just grew and grew
And I knew that I always wanted to be with you
So a momentous decision we did take
And a child of our own we decided to make

I’d never seen you looking as proud as that day
When you looked down at your son and couldn’t look away
We decided to call him Jamie Andrew
And delighted in watching how he changed and grew
You have made my life complete you said
And we so looked forward to the years ahead

Then one night everything changed
You were taken so suddenly that I was nearly deranged
Why oh why I cried and I cried
It’s not fair we have just had a child
But no one was listening and there was nothing I could do
But continue on living my life without you

A year and more has now passed since that night
And my friends and family have helped me to fight
The sadness and loneliness that is deep inside
And try as I might I can not always hide
I sit and remember the times that we shared
And feel in my heart how much you did care

I know that I need to begin to move on
You used to love the fact that I was so strong
Come on girl get up and fight
I hear your voice say to me night after night
I will always be here looking over you all
But it is time for you to stand strong and tall

I just want you to know my darling so true
For you I will fight and move on as I must do
I will be there for our boys and keep them happy and safe
Until God decides to take me to my grave
Within my heart you will always be there
No matter what changes in my life come to bear

I feel like I never really said my goodbyes
I just wish that now I could look in your eyes
So you could see that what I say is so true
Goodbye my darling I will never forget nor stop loving you
Even though I go on living each new day
I will know in my heart that you are not far away …
