Lord,
please hold on tightly, to my loved one that I lost,
The
nights are cold and lonely, like the freezing from a frost.
I
close my eyes at night, hoping sleep will over come...
Hoping
that by morning, my body won’t feel numb.
Oh,
God, how hard it is at times, even after all these years,
The
pain just never goes away... nor do all the tears.
I
can’t seem to focus, on the things I know I must,
For
I still see the face, of the one I love and trust.
The
holidays are rough, Dear God, even though I try my best,
But
I can’t seem to forget the day, I laid my love to rest.
I
read a book, I watch TV, I try to write a letter,
Hoping
and praying, each day will soon get better.
Thanksgiving
soon to be here, then Christmas on its way;
It’s
so difficult to celebrate, since my love has gone away.
Forgive
me Lord, for I am weak, and I wish to be strong,
Please
take this sadness from my heart; replace it with a song.
Oh
Lord, help me remember, You, are only a prayer away,
And
when I keep my faith in You, I know I’ll be okay.
So
as the holidays approach … to my loved one I express,
Not
a day on earth goes by, that I fail to think of “us”.
And
now I must be thankful, for God, I love You so
Just
knowing You are there for me, so much to You, I owe.
Now
in the quiet of the night, the snow falls from above,
As
I look into the Heavens, I still miss my precious love.
Tonight
I’ll light a candle, for the one I miss so much;
Knowing
I can never feel, that tender loving touch.
But
when I leave this world, and join my love again,
I’ll know in my heart, in
God’s hands he’ll remain.
