Love Me Lillian

For my deceased wife.

Love me - not for my looks

Love me - not for my wealth

Love me for being

For seeing

For sharing

For caring

 

Love me to ease my pain

Love me for the laughter we share again

Love me for the memories of the past

Love me for our tenderness, hold me fast

For unspoken spirit that binds

For knowledge partaken of all kinds

 

Love each touch

Love me for my eyes open and closed

Vision

Premonition

Wrong decision

Recognition

 

Love me for my uncertainty

My worry

Impatience always in a hurry

 

Love me

For looking at the moon

Massage tender, kiss and swoon

Love me, for our trip on earth did end too soon

 

Each seek the attainable forever-changing dream

As we grow older, knowing things are never

Ever what they seem

 

Love me for the sleep of sleeps

Eternal that we share

Love me for my love for you

Precious always, some to spare

 

Love me for each beginning, wonder

Must it end?

Love me; I am what I am

Forever live, eternal friend.
