Without you...

         WITHOUT YOU…
©Kerrie O’Hearn Marquart


If I should walk upon this earth without you
I would never see the sunset as beautiful as before.
I would never greet the dawn of morning
With a smile and a song like I did before.

I miss the sound of your footfall in the hall
Your smile when you smelled coffee
And the toast popping up for you.
Sitting on the porch to ponder a new day.

I miss your hug and gentle kiss
Together we were such a team
Alone I am but a one-winged moth
When I used to be a butterfly.

Happiness meant being with you Bill
It always did and it always will.
And though my tears flow less often now,
You are deep in my heart and I know that YOU Know.
