Half

[image error]Half a block from me

All my life spent with you

Half not believing you were gone

Halfway through the seasons

On Christmas Day.

Half a century I’m approaching

Half my Christmases without you

Half my heart left

Half my tears remaining

Half my life you’re now gone

Half way recovered

Half enjoying the holidays

Half of what you hoped for me

Half conveying to my kids

How amazing you were.

Half achieving near that.

Half the confidence you had in me

Half hoping you see my tree.

Full hoping you love my girls.

Half a century approaching

Half my heart remaining.

Half a hope you hear

Half our Christmas singing

Half the time I’m thinking

How much I miss you.

How I’m grateful

You were half a block away.

Now half a sky –

And I

If lucky –

Am

half a life’s way

Back to you.
