Although You Are Not Near Me Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE

Although you are not near me
And so many miles away,
You're in my dream forever
And I dream of you each day,
No thing could come between us
Or could tear our lives apart,
For you are always with me
And you're always in my heart.

So as the day is dawning
And the songbirds fill the air,
With sweet and heavenly music
My sweet you're always there,
I close my eyes and see you
And I hear your gentle voice,
And wish that I could hold you,
I just wish I had the choice.

Within the shade of summer
As beneath this tree I lie,
My thoughts of you are endless
And my thoughts will never die,
I'm resting there so grateful
For without your love I'd be,
Just like a fading shadow
Like the shadow of this tree.

The sun now sinking slowly
And the embers growing deep,
I think of you while I'm awake,
And I think of you in sleep,
The stars are now like diamonds
As the moon does shine so bright,
I feel you there beside me
And I feel your warmth this night.
