Because You'Re Not There Poem by Raheem Lyttle Kiyaga

As I sit here...
Talking to the Woman I Love...
And watching the water...
Gently caress the lakeshore...
I can hear the songbirds singing...
And the ravens cawing...
In this orchestra of God's Creation
And honesty forces me to admit...
That I'm missing You Baby...
Even though I am talking to you...
As I would Love to have You here with me...
Sitting on the grass...
Beneath the shade of this great pine...
As We watch the ducks sleep...
And feeling Your hand in mine...
To feel the gentle breeze...
Watching it as it blows through Your hair...
Yes...it's true...these are the things...
In which I'd like Us to share
And to behold all of this beauty...
So breathtaking and fair...
I watched it begin paling...
Because You are not there
Sitting right beside me...
As I wish You could be...
Shining Your Beauty...
On all that I see! ! !
