Just One Day

If I could come back just for one day
I know exactly what I would say.
To my family and friends, and those who I loved,
As a message from God who speaks from above.
I would say it’s okay to be sad for a while,
But what I really want to most is to see you all smile.
And for you to go on and live once again,
Allowing my memory to comfort your pain.
I know you all loved me with all of your heart,
And that none of you wanted for me to depart.
I don’t quite understand it all myself,
But I know you’ll get by with a little bit of help.
Yes, I would say to be a sad for a day
And to do what you need to do.
And then lift up your eyes
To the wonder of the sky,
And I know that I loved you all too!

You Never Said Goodbye
A poem for my wife 

You never said I’m leaving,
You never said goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.
And a million times I needed you,
A million times I cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You would never have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I loved you still,
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of me went with you,
 The day God took you home.
