I sit here in my rocking chair
As thoughts of you flood my weary brain
Tears stream down my wrinkled face
I no longer try to hide the pain
These were to have been our golden years
We had plans to spend them together
But now you're gone, and I'm still here
For us, there was no forever
My sight has dimmed; my gait is slow
I know the years must take their toll
While my aging body just wastes away
In Heaven, yours has been made whole
The media seems to bombard me
With advice on how to move on
It's hard to listen when my heart is broken
And the best part of me is gone
I look forward to seeing you again
When I get to that Heavenly Home
So, I'll just rock and reminisce
And spend my rocking years alone
