One

it ticks and tocks as I stare at the clock
so long now gone, all alone in my home
with nothing but her flowing around in my mind
watching the hours, wiling away time

my mind starts to wander, a smile on my face
as I think of her beauty, her love and her grace
of our time spent together, planning forever
all the joy and the smiles and so much laughter

of our beautiful children now merged into one
bringing happiness and fun to our family home
they are brothers and sisters, there for each other
no longer two families, they are one forever

in the blink of an eye she’ll be back in my arms
melting into my safety ~ my mind once again calm
