Missing you

The world is dull without your sparkle,

No noise as sweet as your laughter.

Your loss has left me with no understanding, 

An emptiness I can not fill.

As I trudge through the mundane,

I impatiently wait to join you.

But as I pray for peace and acceptance, 

Your love surrounds me like a warm blanket 

And temporarily hides the cold.
