When We Are Apart

When we are far apart

And I am all alone,

Heavy is my heart

With thoughts of you and home.

 

I see your smiling face in all that I do,

The scent of your hair,

Your eyes so blue.

Each reminds me why my love remains steadfast and true.

 

The days grow longer

With each passing hour,

But my love grows stronger,

And blossoms as if a flower.

 

I know I must stay

Until my work is through.

Until then I only can say,

From my heart, “I love you.” &
