Love Poem: Heaven Here

Heaven Here

Heaven Here

I stare at the photo, 
unbidden… tears fill my eyes. 
I can barely see. 
I hate that about me. 
You would laugh. 
You always laughed. 
I wish 
that I could
still hear you laugh.
I think that I have, 
grown deaf.

It is my heart-it has hardened. 
It happened, no matter how I tried. 
I am sorry, my love.

I prayed to your Lord, 
Yes “He” answered me. 
I tend the garden
at the church, 
every week.
I pull the weeds, when my hands hurt. 
I remembered when you held them. 
I push the mower, and try not to stumble. 
I have to prove that I can do it, 
I can carry on… 
without,
you.
Even if it is…
not, 
true.

Ever “He” is with me, 
as I pass my days. 
I know that soon,
