Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[73smile]

Each morning as I awake I look around ny bedroom "done" in Elvis and I miss him so,
When I am up and I turn a CD on, my day begins in a beautiful manner but I miss him so,
Toward evening when I may be reading or watching an Elvis concert my heart lurches from the pain and I miss still,
Sometimes I dream of Elvis and I think upon awakening and going through the tasks of a day and I do miss him so.

I find myself hoping that it will not be much longer before our forum family is united with Elvis in heaven and I feel joy,
When I am shopping and I hear a song of his being played I smile and my heart feels glad,
It knows that Elvis is and that he always will be and I miss him so.
I look at a picture of our small little boy, Hayden, and I think of what Elvis missed by not being here for the arrival of his grandchildren but I can find some comfort in knowing that at least he knows that they are okay; and then I am no longer as sad.

Solace for me is having the farmhouse quiet and there are days when I feel him very close to me and I am happy because I know the time draws close,
I will see him soon and I will listen to his laughter, look at his beautiful blue eyes and listen to the voice given to him as a gift by the One above,
Believing that Elvis will not be there when my name is called makes me weep but I find my heart at peace again because I know he is there with the One above and my name in in the Book of LIfe, but I still miss him so.
