My Dear Ann–Where Are You Now?

Standing atop the cliff with wind in my hair,

I turned to speak, but you were not there,

Into the wind I shouted for your return,

This will not happen I have to learn.

Your spirit is with me as I travel around

Oh what wonderful memories do abound

I return to the chalet all alone

If only I could reach you by telephone.

There is a void in my life of that there is no doubt

Why were you taken? I want to shout

No answer comes to that sad question

But someone somewhere must know the intention.

Life must go on without you I know

Bit it is difficult to decide which way to go

Life was much easier with two to share

But now alone it is harder to bear.

I sit alone some times lost in thought

Thinking of how so very hard you fought

If only! If only I silently cry

But I get no answere, I just have to sigh

The treatment on offer we knew a risk carried

A risk we’d not faced since we were married

Our life seemed set fair or so we thought

Then came the grim reaper and life became nought.

You kindled a flame with your life here on earth

But now I ask what is life worth

The prayers offered up for you there were so many

Of all those said, I ask? Did God answer any.

We all know there is a great, great master plan

Was there a place in it for you my dear Ann?

Maybe when we meet in heaven of this I will learn

If it be God’s will and in hell I don’t burn.
