I wish I could see you one more time, come walking through the door…

But I know that’s impossible, I will hear your voice no more.

I know you can feel my tears, and you don’t want me to cry,

Yet my heart is broken because, I can’t understand why someone so precious had to die.

I pray that God will give me strength, and somehow get me through…

As I struggle with the heartache that came when I lost you.

– With love always, your ever-loving wife, Pauline xxx.
