Whispered moments of long ago Continue to haunt my heart and soul. A faded memory lingers in my mind A ghostly vision of a woman Whose face so resembles mine. Before the angels took her in their embrace, With the warmth of her hand turning cold An oath departed from my lips; A promise to never forget The time we spent together. Yet with the passing of the years My remembrance of her slowly fading Like the moon after the sun breaks. To not remember her as I once did Casts a shadow over my heart. I cannot quite remember her loving touch, Or the way she held me when I cried, Or her enchanted lullabies that once filled my ears. Fragments of faded memories, Echoes of the past that I once knew. A cry rises from the depth of my soul... Please do not let me forget the way Her eyes sparkled like diamonds or How her smile was as bright as the sun. These memories are my life¹s blood. Yet I know I will see her again When it is time for me to part. Her embrace will welcome me Into the heavenly light above For she is my angel.
