Until the Day

(original upload found here: http://truml.com/profile/poetry-detail/99851 )

My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news 
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose 
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real 
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel 
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see 
But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me 
I’m glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land 
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand 
I lie in bed and cry at night 
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light 
And I will love and miss him forever 
Until the day we are again together. 
Together in that perfect place above, 
Filled with caring, sharing and love 
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away. 
And hopefully see him again someday
