Love Beyond The Grave

I look at our picture and see us smile.
We had our life and it lasted a while.
My arm around you holding you tight.
Memories of your body with me at night.

I try so hard to not live in the past.
But still our love endeavors to last.
I can't help but smiling seeing you there.
A time of love and being without care.

You made me happy for you understood.
I know you would be here if you could.
It was never like you'd just to go away.
I looked at our picture and smiled today.

It doesn't hurt so bad that you are gone.
I know that you are in the great beyond.
I can accept your passing circumstance.
For a moment I could remember our romance.

It has taken so long to see the picture of life.
I could see only death but now see my wife.
You are a cherished memory that stays new.
A toast to us and all that we went through.
