Things of Beloved

A funeral today
Wife says her goodbye
A new widow returns
To her home to cry

She wanders ‘round the house
Views the things they’ve shared
In photos and objects
But no beloved here

Furniture he built
Projects all surround
Times before the fire
Memories abound

They all lead them to him
In times of love they shared
She would trade the all
For one more moment here

The same is with God
In beauty that we see
Of touches of His light
Can’t replace Presence of He
