Her Sweet Kisses Stained

with Tears

D.Larson Aug.12^th.2011

 

I wake up again, the night is far spent

She clutches to my body, in desperation – seemingly

Her kisses so emphatic, seeking reassurance

With intensity like none other

Her sweet kisses stained with tears

 

I tell her that I love her, once again from my heart

Then we hold each other so dearly and so very close

An eternal embrace that cannot be ever broke

With an intensity like none other

Her sweet kisses stained with tears

 

She sobs with such great passion, “I miss our kids and home”

With their voices calling out “Mom I’m home”

Yes - our children are all gone now, and we hold each other tenderly

With intensity like none other

Her sweet kisses stained with tears

 

I comfort her and reassure, our love just will not fail

We came this far, not looking back, We’ll go on forever more

Our children will fulfill their lives, and succeed where we have failed

But they’ll love us just as we loved them

With sweet kisses stained with tears.

 

A kiss - oh a kiss so pure, with a hug not ending,

True love that never ends, such a wondrous blessing

Such passion that never faded, such joy that still we share

 

With intensity like none other

Her sweet kisses stained with tears

With intensity like none other

Yes, I’ll kiss away her tears
