It has only been a few hours,
That we have been apart,
I wish it were in my power,
You are the sunshine in my heart.
The day drags on
It is lunch at last,
You aren’t home,
I have to eat fast.
I tarry as long as I can,
Hopes upon hopes to see you
Disappointed is this man,
Hurrying back to work and what I do.
Quitting time at last
I can go back home,
To that love and repast,
But DARN! You are still gone.
Then as I put supper down,
There on the table,
You stroll in from town,
Totally wiped, to eat barely able.
I give you a hug and a little kiss,
Get totally recharged with the uplift,
Then pray to God telling how much I missed,
And thanking Him for bringing her my safe gift.
Hon, just wanted you to know,
How much I love and miss you so.
You are my heart and what makes my life great,
I want to be with you 24/7 not just a couple hours each day.
I loved you the moment I laid eyes on you.
Forever it will be so,
My love will always be true,
To you, my betrothed.
