Monday Makes Me Cry

entry picture

Monday makes me cry
The day you said your last goodbye
A moment of reflection I take
But it doesn't help my heartache
Monday makes me cry

Another day arrives here and gone
Time it marches boldly on
Weeks and months flash by
They consume me and I wonder why
Your passing I find hard to bear
An empty feeling inside so there
Full of memories and reflection
Lost in the wilderness no direction 

Monday makes me cry
When I remember you and I
A day that fills me with grief
Makes me doubt my self believe 
Monday makes me cry

It would be nice to have hope 
Just a little faith to help me cope
Engulfed by grief and solitude
Your smiling face lifts my mood
Your time it came all too soon 
I try to raise a smile amid the gloom
As I contemplate a heavenly sky
My heart is yours until the day that I die

Monday makes me cry
The day you said your last goodbye
A moment of reflection I take
But it doesn't help my heartache
Monday makes me cry

Monday makes me cry
As tears fall from the sky
Monday makes me cry

fifty-five years married and I can only imagine Tom. What I do know though is that, were it my partner, I would hear her voice ringing in my ears urging me to 'get out there and live life'.
I think I'd always take her photo with me though, so I could say, 'this is all your fault'. Seriously, keep on keeping on! WOL needs you too!

Incredibly moving, Tom. A part of the pain never goes away. Stay strong.
