Whispers of Love
You've been gone from me for many years,
Yet I can plainly hear
Those sweet words meant for only me
And whispered in my ear.
You called me darling, dearest, sweetheart,
And I did the same for you.
I knew the way you whispered them
Your loving heart was true.
You promised you'd love me as long
As forever and a day.
How could we know that our forever
Was not very far away.
God sent his angels to carry you
Up those long, golden stairs.
While I ask Him to send your whispers back
Each bedtime in my prayers.
