A Loved One

Your memory is what holds me tight

Provides me with the strength to fight

Against all odds and days I face

Your every word helps me enlight



You being with me has kept me sane

I’ve been able to endure all pain

As long as you are there for me

I know this toil won’t be in vain



I strive my best with you in mind

Another like you, I can’t find

I’ve travelled over lands and seas

But You are one of a kind



In the end I would like to pray

Forever in my life you stay

This love for you will never end

I beg you, Please don’t drift away
