Separated By Distance But Not By Love

Separated by distance but not by love I feel your presence with me......... thus I survive but by your grace....
      
Distant though your kisses be
they lie yet gentle upon my face
While whispers of your heart to mine 
shout loudly in this place.
 
Thoughts of you pour through my mind 
like rivers rushing full,
Not only mind and body but  
on my soul those memories pull 

I think of days with sunshine rays 
as they danced upon our heads.   
Call I now upon those dreams 
to free me from my dreads

Oft my arms have held you close  
as I breathed your breath exhaled 
Felt your heart in tune with mine, 
your love has never failed  

In days ago to my very soul 
my eyes did drink you in
Cry they now in such despair 
for so long it has been

Though been a while recount now I 
the beauties of your face
It's of these things I think of 
while in this lonely place 

I think of nights and lovers delights 
as I loved you in our bed 
Written across this heart of mine 
is every word you said 

Your love, your caring, your tender touch 
did fill me with delight.
I press each day to complete my task, 
but I dream of you at night 

These days will pass with labors done 
and the rushing to and fro 
While I'm away please feel my heart 
and know it loves you so

Though the miles treat us harshly now 
I stand without despair
 For the day will come when I kiss your face 
and run my fingers through your hair

I will hold you close and call your name, 
as the tears run down my face 
The joy so real as I stand once more 
in the presence of your grace 
 
I can not force that day to come 
any sooner than it will
I've a task to do that's required of me 
and said task I shall fulfill

Yet , pray see my face and feel my touch
in the memories of your heart
Know  I do the same for you my love- 
as we spend this time apart.
