Literature Text

Silence is but one expression
And tonight my one companion
When darkness rules this dreary land

You were with for so long
But when I blink your gone
And my world today is slowly drowning

You're not here to guide me
But I feel you now beside me
And how I wish this moment
Would never have an end

I could reach out and touch you
Can I say I love you?
I still remember that night
When we said our last goodbye
One last goodnight

I know it's been a year
But I still can't stop these tears
None of these useless words
Can do a thing for this hurt

I can't remember your sweet voice
But if I had a choice
I'd be there with you tonight
But I only see you in my mind

You're not here to guide me
But I feel you now beside me
And how I wish this moment
Would never have an end

I could reach out and touch you
Can I say I love you?
I still remember that night
When you said our last goodbye
One last goodnight

You gave me your parting words
Before you even saw that hearse
If only I had made some time
Room for you in my one life

You're not here to guide me
But I feel you now beside me
And how I wish this moment
Would never have an end

I could reach out and touch you
Can I say I love you?
I still remember that night
When we said our last goodbye
One last goodnight
A song I wrote in memory of my grandmother

RIP
Mildred Conyers Wirth

I miss you grandmother
