From A Distance Poem by Robert Longley

You know I am still with you
This day and many more
Though watching from a distance
For all that’s yet in store

Seems a loss too sudden
To view the road ahead
You’ve got to keep on moving
Or so I often said

No more tears my darling
This is a time to think
If only from a distance
A smile, a kiss, a wink

There’s joy on the horizon
A dream and vision too
Reflecting all my memories
Of the dream I had in you
