A Legacy Of Love

As darkness slowly seeps into the air
The September sun sinks further into the sea
and the water seems to boil
I am drawn to the loneliness
Which I once so fiercely fought.

Then velvety soft wings envelop me
And my heart is full of you.
I remember your smile
And the sound of your voice.

If tomorrow comes without you
If the darkness should carry you softly away
If I have heard your last “hey there”
Seen my last bright sunrise, lived my last sweet day

I wrap your love around me
Like a blanket to keep me warm.
And remember that I am not with you.
I let your love carry me through the storm.
