A New Beginning

A Quiet New Year's Eve...

Last New Year's Eve I woke you up
When midnight rang the New Year in.
We softly kissed as we always did
And prayed for a miracle once again.

No midnight kiss, no loving Bill,
No miracle did our Lord fulfill.
My first New Year's Eve without you.

I miss you so, holidays have been empty
  Without your love and wonderful smiles.
And my smiles are certainly few
  As I face another year without you.

I do have wonderful memories
  of all the things that made us one
I know you are in heaven now
  With the Father and the holy Son.

I pray I told you often enough
  How much I loved and appreciated
Your warmth, your love, your kisses and such
  That still warm my heart so very much.

But God has given me hope and strength
  That I never imagined I had
And yes, I know I will live on 
  Even though I lost the best friend and love
I ever had~
  YOU.
