Even though you have gone from my side,
You are as deep in my heart as the ocean is wide.
The keeper of my heart and the tamer of my fears,
I stood by your side all of these years.
A love so kind, bold and true
I was devoted to thee as were you;
Two lives united as one
Our hearts carry a bond that can never be undone.
You became my best friend,
And I feel you in the breeze of a strong wind.
I see you in the stars that light the dark night
As you ease my tears and turn out the light.
I wrote this for my aunt when her husband died. She loved him dearly and he will be missed.
