Most of us have experienced that horrible
          icy feeling in the pit of our "tummies"
          when we realized that we lost
          our wallet, purse, or other immensely important article.

          So too, a particularly lost, empty, and helpless feeling
          strikes when your loved one and you are apart,
          no matter the time-span.

          Things just feel so out of place, emptiness prevails,
          you feel so lost and stumble around
          in a fog constantly searching for
          love, comfort, and security.

          Nights seem endless, and days just seem to go on, and on.



          LONELY HEART


          It's lonely here
          in my heart.

          Things have changed
          now that we're apart.

          Oh, I know it's only a
          short time you've been away.

          But, to my heart
          it's been a lifetime and a day.

          The warmth has gone
          from my life.

          I miss you so
          my Darling Wife.

          The days just seem to
          go on and on.

          At night I search but
          know you've gone.

          I miss the warmth
          that fulfills my soul.

          My Mate, my Companion,
          the one who makes me whole.

          Emptiness permeates the air
          making separation seem unfair.

          But, hope and anticipation,
          remain.

          I love you my Darling, and dream
          of when we'll be together again.
