Whenever Poem by William Lindenmuth

Whenever I’m feeling Lonely
Feeling down and blue
I think of a loving color
With clearest visions of you
Whenever the world is an ugly place
As sometimes it can be
I pretty it up with a smile
And I think of you and me
Whenever life gets hectic
And I’m caught up in that rush
I stop everything I’m doing
And I feel your gentle touch
Whenever this heart is breaking
And the pain is too great to bear
I think of a slow dance with you
And precious moments we shared
Whenever I think about us
Something I often do
I feel love everlasting
Loving thoughts warm and true
Whenever I get weary
and things just aren’t right
I think about the good times
The bad times just take flight
Whenever I’m feeling really good
And I’m tingling deep inside
I think about our journey’s
A joy filled loving ride
Whenever this heart is healing
When all in the world is right
I think of having you close to me
Holding you close and tight
Whenever the night approaches
I gaze at the first shining star
Focusing on its eternal light
It takes me where you are
