Recovery

by Orchid Man   May 15, 2008


Sweetheart, I know you are not well and my heart reaches out to you
Today I doubt if there will be a day at all and I hurt so badly inside
I need you to function properly and feel as though my body clock.......
....is gradually slowing down as you are the most important person in my life.

For years you have known there is no day or night without you beside me
Waking up without your usual smiling face greeting my own is so distracting
It's funny how even the smallest illness dampens an otherwise expectant day
How love for another grows in strength in its need for a successful recovery.

Have you ever wondered if leafless trees call out to nature for new growth?
Or how a lifeless garden seeks the spring to ensure its continuity of a new season?
Orchid lady I pray you recover your health soon and learn to smile once more.......
....as no smile will adorn my face until we can both return to the comfort of each other.

It is while I am away from you and your softness I realise my heart is empty and hollow
Nothing feels the same; just faceless people without one voice as wonderful as yours
Sweetheart, my business trip is not as important as you are so I am on my way home.......
....home to where my heart is and home to the lady that makes my life complete.
