How Many Times

Poem

How many times...

Can

I say that your smile warms my heart

How many times...

Do

I pause in my day to pray for your blessings

How many times...

I find

My lips yearning for just one kiss

How many times...

Is

Too many moments

I close my eyes and I see you

Walking

Your white cotton dress swaying in the breeze

Your silken auburn hair dancing

About your face

Your graceful and feminine silhouette

Illuminated by the distant divine sun

O ... Elizabeth

You keep walking ... You keep moving

Towards immortal life in heaven

Awaits you

Jesus Christ

His arms shall embrace you

Together we Christians all shall be

How many times...

Is

Eternity

finis
