As I swim through the tide of hours
Of painful days, months and years
Numbed with a buzzing dreamy head
Not knowing if I am really living or dead
All these thoughts of how it would have been
If it was with you I shared this space on earth
Convivial your self, had I always had seen
And lay with you, on the warmth of our hearth
I wish I grew a beautiful garden at our home
With our child watering the plants we set
Making merry noises and screaming with joy
Picking fragrant lilies with her little fingers wet
On a dinner table we would pray and sit
And thank God for all the mercies and grace
With dreams in your eyes, a sweater you knit
I cannot take my eyes of your angelic face
So I dream and I cherish these thoughts
And for a life that has not so much been mine
Wish for you, with my whole heart, all the while
That love would come calling to you to stay
