Sally Smith

Your eyes made me know

that everything would be fine

your hugs melted my heart

and strengthened  my stride

Oh how I loved you

So many times I rose

just to see you once more

we never spoke of complex things

but your advice I couldn't ignore

Oh how I loved you

Yout taught me so much

through your actions and kindness

made me see the world new

through the heaps of mangled mess 

Oh how I loved you

The people you helped

will never forget you

remembrance in jail cells

of hte battered hopes you maqde new

Oh how I loved you

You held on so long

I like to think for me

but probably because it was hard

for death to take someone like you away

Oh how I loved you

Even now when I'm alone

I think I feel you and hear

you holding me whispering your love

make me forget my fear

Oh how I love you
