Your's To Touch

I really didn't need this.
Because of someone that I miss.
They are still here but not.
My heart took quite a shot.

Never could I have thought this
The sadness I feel because I miss.
Someone so close, that I love.
Oh God, my Father in Heaven above.

Dear God please help me this day
Help me in Your loving way.
Help me accept what is now.
Help me as only You know how.

Help me accept how I feel.
For I think this is unreal.
You are suppose to be kind.
Please settle my tormented mind.

Tell me why I have to endure.
I know, You love me, I'm sure.
But this burden is too much.
God, My heart is yours to touch.

What's that Lord, I didn't hear.
I'll gain strength from a tear?
Lord I don't quite understand.
What is it You have planned?

What Lord? What did you say?
I'll see them again someday!
But I can't wait that long!
Is this selfishness all wrong?

Yes I know and I do understand.
The prayer "Footprints in the sand"
But how does that work here.
Please stop all these tears!

What? You are rewarding them now?
But I feel I'm punished somehow!
Lord, this burden is too much.
God, My heart is yours to touch.

You say I'll understand it soon.
When angels play a tender tune.
And I hear my loved ones cry.
And I know their tears are why.

Why do you take me to join you.
I joined some loved ones true.
But my other loved ones will cry.
And I'll understand when I die.

Lord, seems strange but I think.
You mean life is just a drink.
Heaven is a three course meal.
And Eternity is truly for real.

Thank You, Lord so very much.
My heart has felt Your touch.
I know it's ok for me to cry.
When I kiss my love good bye.

I'll see them again real soon.
When angels play a tender tune.
I'll see You again real soon.
When my heart needs another tune.
