I went out to the sea <br />And sat there by the shore <br />Among the cragged rocks and sand, <br />And all the ocean roar. <br /> <br />In my heart there beat <br />A pain as not before; <br />Such sadness in my mind I felt, <br />And through my heart it tore. <br /> <br />Before me flashed sweet memories <br />Of a love that cannot be replaced, <br />And a vision in my mind did draw <br />The lines of her sweet face. <br /> <br />Her ways were loving, gentle and kind <br />My thoughts did wonder far <br />I thought that she may be, now seeing me <br />From a far off distant star. <br /> <br />Her loving arms around me <br />No longer can I feel <br />Just one more moment in her life <br />I wish that I could steal. <br /> <br />Though her years were many <br />I still do miss her so, <br />And I have asked many times <br />Why she had to go? <br /> <br />God in heaven does not disclose <br />The hours on earth we keep, <br />And now my love has passed away <br />Into her final sleep. <br /> <br />Her voice I hear whisper in my ear <br />Get up and walk away <br />I am not lost to you forever <br />We will meet again someday. <br /> <br />I will be here waiting to greet you <br />When God calls out your name, <br />And the love we shared upon the earth <br />Will be forever and the same. <br /> <br />By Richard Netherland Cook<br /><br />Richard Netherland Cook<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-sad-heart-2/
