I kiss the top of your head
with tears
in my eyes
and yet
I hide my feelings
with these silent cries.
There will be a day when you come home,
yes,
come home to me.
Although you can't hear me
now
but soon you will see
that sometimes
life may change
in the way we live.
Please know my darling
I still have my love
to give
to the woman
who was strong enough
to survive this fight
as we join our hearts
together
and share the light.
In the darkness
of your sickness
we'll find a way
in knowing our bond
can lead to the beauty
of another day
and like the spring flowers
which return
so naturally
you may be losing
your hair
but you'll never lose me.
