Words ... When Thou Hast Left Me

by Thomas Lee Rhymes CANCER - Not entered

to My Friend, Frank - - for His Beloved Merrie



Speak my name, I pray thee
rise from this Life of Death
to touch my hand, my lips, my soul
and feel the warmth - of living Love

Speak my name, I pray thee
as choirs echo from Heaven's Gate
and see us shine, as trembling stars
glowing from the night above

Speak my name, I pray thee
sweet breath return - Return!
And fill this precious body soft
to quiver the heart of this sweet dove

Speak my name, I pray thee
do not leave me here - alone
to grieve for you forevermore
to curse this warmth - of living Love

Speak my name, I pray thee

Speak my name

Reason for writing:

    Soon, my friend's wife will be taken from him by AIDS.  I will
miss his laughter and his humor - until Time allows his pain to heal.
