Give Me A Sign by Terrie*

give me a sign
that you are still there
give me a sign
can you hear me dear?

send it by raindrop
or a tear drop
that freezes in time
I feel it in my heart
let me feel it on my flesh

within the morning dew
maybe even a gentle breeze
or even in a rose
as it unfolds

send me a sign
a soft knock at the door
a few rings on the phone..
a heavenly song that we shared

show me a sign
in the laughter of a child
in the hug of some I love
in the eyes of a stranger
it happened once
let it happen again
as strong as our love and bond were
let off a sign somewhere
let me rediscover the touch and feel of love so precious to share
I'll look for it in the birth of a child
give it to somweone else whom has been wating for gods love to touch

from the start of the day
with out realizing why
it was something I couldn't explain

but I felt every sign
I didn't want to ask, I didn't want to know
yet I knew it was something I needed to know

when the sun embraced my face as i stared out the window from the waiting room
up into into the evening, when the moon & the stars followed me as i walked the grounds outside
to clear my head and make sense of it all

the gentle wind wrapped itself around me
I felt a teardrop kiss me on the lips
as I heard our song playing " When I need Love" on the radio
in a car park right beside the table where I sat

I felt such a powerful surge
tonight when you died
I may not know it now
but I know in time I will understand
why in this life
we leave behind those we love

just as you already know
why you continue to love us, whom you left behind

I know why I still love you
but not why I stayed behind

UPDATE NOTE:
*Drs. kept telling me he was dying..but I was too blind to focus on the truth...Even though we think we love too much or we miss too much....even though it hurts big time...When you lose some one you feel like your just beginning to realize how much you really love and miss them once they are gone you also realize how intense the pain is when life throws you a bad curve and hits you where it hurts.. enjoy all of your todays treat them like tomorrows..make tomorrow a today...I felt lucky to have known my husband even for the short time that we had.I think that we were able to enjoy things that most people miss. and some couples have had less time to share than what we had before a tragedy struck them .

Thank you for all your great emotions
I'm so sorry for your loss,
Wherever you see happiness,
Whenever you feel that smile,
Or a jump in your heart,
The phone ring at a certain time,
Memories will flood of the time,
Memories are everyones true gift,
Thank you for writing and for sharing,
I like your words sad, happy and true

Clive & Ash...
Thank you both for taking a few moments of your time to read/comment.those thoughts hold great meaning to me....
that is SOOOOOO true Clive,
Memories are everyones true gift they are a link to our past both good/bad (i have many memories reeling in my heart)
And Ash...
thank you,ever so much. time has healed my wounds, sweet memories live on.it takes awhile to wake up and face reality w/o our loved one...i lost my main squeeze 12/13years ago. time has a way to help heal our deepest wounds..alot of my poems of my husbands death were written in that period...it was my therapy when ever i found a quiet solid moment after spending precious moments w/him..(at his bedside but...mostly at the graveside) and well here i am sharing a few . thank you both once again i appreciate your touching comments. God Bless You!!enjoy a fantastic day!!!Terrie*

no title
Aww Terrie this poem is so extremely beautiful. I can relate to it pretty well having lost a loved one myself. That's true, you don't know how much you need/love someone until you don't have them anymore. Life is so precious, and we don't even know it. I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope things heal with time. God Bless and again great poem, I loved it...

wow a heart warmer and an eye opener
Terrie,
Of course another great piece of work. IT opened my eyes and told me to thank god that he sent my husband home on leave and not to be angry because he had to go back to the war. For the time we do spend together i need to make special and appreciate it. Because like you said we dont know when we wont have a tomorrow. It hurts me to know you went threw this loss, but I know it has made you stronger and the great compationate(spelling) person you are today.I thank you for sharing and maybe one day. Ill be right there on top like you. You are an awesome lady and so kind and sweet. Thanks again god bless take care.
In Gods love
Tricia Cauthon
