Colin Ian Jeffery - THE LONG GOODBYE

Here alone
I walk the fields and woods we loved
Seeing you with every step I take
And smiling see your face
Hearing your gentle laughter
Smell you sweet as a flower
Keeping you safe within my heart.

Years slip bye so fast
And old age has slowed my pace
My hair, which you loved to touch
Has turned white as snow
But still my thoughts are focused
Upon the memories we shared
Keeping you safe within my heart.
