love .....

Last night before I went to bed,

Thoughts of you filled my head,

I have not cried this way in many of years,

Onto my pillow fell six silent tears.


The first was for your smile that I miss,

And your tender lips I long to kiss,

The second was for your gentle face,

And thoughts of your loving embrace.


The third came as no surprise,

As I thought of your beautiful eyes,

The fourth came rolling down my face,

Instead of my pillow, it should be you in it’s place.


The fifth came for one reason alone,

I felt my love for you wasn’t fully shown,

I really love and miss you my dear,

And there just fell ….. the sixth silent tear…..
