Leave A Light On Poem by Lee Geoghegan

Leave A Light On

Rating: 5.0

I linger sadly upon this earthly realm
Reminiscing of a life with you at the helm
You've left for heaven, where I long to be
I yearn to follow; leave a light on for me

Tired of sitting around at night
Pleading for some deathly delight
I'm lost without my loving wife
Just striving for the afterlife

There was only ever you and me
True love is how it's meant to be
My heart was a gift I gave to you
And you devoted your heart too

I miss you so very much
Dreaming of your gentle touch
But help comes when you need it most
Mine came in the form of your Holy Ghost

You raised my sail and set my course
Beyond the stars, right to the source
To a paradise of overwhelming glee
Thank you darling, for leaving a light on for me
