As I sit here... <br />Talking to the Woman I Love... <br />And watching the water... <br />Gently caress the lakeshore... <br />I can hear the songbirds singing... <br />And the ravens cawing... <br />In this orchestra of God's Creation <br />And honesty forces me to admit... <br />That I'm missing You Baby... <br />Even though I am talking to you... <br />As I would Love to have You here with me... <br />Sitting on the grass... <br />Beneath the shade of this great pine... <br />As We watch the ducks sleep... <br />And feeling Your hand in mine... <br />To feel the gentle breeze... <br />Watching it as it blows through Your hair... <br />Yes...it's true...these are the things... <br />In which I'd like Us to share <br />And to behold all of this beauty... <br />So breathtaking and fair... <br />I watched it begin paling... <br />Because You are not there <br />Sitting right beside me... <br />As I wish You could be... <br />Shining Your Beauty... <br />On all that I see! ! !<br /><br />Kiyaga Lyttle Cephas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/because-you-re-not-there/
