Creative Space: The Writing Room
   
 

Please Listen

By Jeannette E. Smith

Do not dwell on what you see,
This is not the real me.
Remember back to other days,
Before this illness changed my ways.
My love for you will never change,
My life has just been re-arranged.
In my heart you'll always be,
A very special part of me.
This I want you all to know,
If I cannot tell you so.
Through this time we are estranged,
And our lives, have been changed.
God is with us through it all,
To give us strength each time we fall.
And when I leave, it's not the end,
I'll be made whole in Heaven again.
I'll wait there on the other side,
Where we, forever will abide.
Once again I'll recognize,
The faces that I idolize.
Where heartache, grief, and tears will end,
We'll be together once again.
