As I collected, the children <br />from school yesterday <br />knowing you were far away <br />I wondered what I’d do <br />if you didn’t come home <br />and I had to live without you. <br /> <br />The thoughts were so sad <br />they brought tears to my eyes. <br />I don’t think I could go on; <br />I would want to live <br />in a world without you. <br />I couldn’t be that strong. <br /> <br />A world without you <br />would be an empty place. <br />There would be no laughter <br />to greet my ears <br />and just the very thought <br />brings tears to my eyes. <br /> <br />A world without you, <br />how unhappy I would be, <br />you fill my every moment <br />with love and understanding. <br />You make me feel safer <br />just knowing that you are here. <br /> <br />A world with out you, <br />I just cannot imagine that. <br />The thoughts are so painful. <br />There would be no joy <br />within our happy home, <br />and the walls would be bare. <br /> <br />Just thinking of it <br />brings tears to my eyes, <br />but I so happy <br />because you are still here <br />and always will be <br />here at my side. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6 March 1996 <br /> <br /> <br />Author's Note: <br /> <br />While sorting through some old papers this week I found this poem I had written fourteen years ago. I hope you like this little discovery. <br /> <br />David Harris <br />23 May 2010<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-world-without-you-4/
