What Would I Give

What would I give to feel your strength
To feel your hands holding mine
the safety and comfort of your arms
I'm so scared and you could comfort me
I'm so lost and you could find me
I'm in such pain and you could heal me
What would I give to hear your voice
the music and tenor of your beautiful sound
so soothing and much more wise than I
What would I give to have you with me
the life and the love of my soul
to be with me to live life with me
to fill the eternal void

About the Author
I was married to my husband for 33 years when he passed away October 18, 2013. The tentacles of his death reach down into every aspect of my life. I went back to working 2 jobs after it happened just to keep myself moving and functioning. Looking back on it, I'm not really sure how I did it. I just show up where I'm supposed to show up but there's not much enthusiasm for work or dealing with people when I'm always feeling this awful void.
