Poems for Precious Nicole! 
            "DO I MISS YOU?" 
 
You ask if I miss you, 
I miss you every day. 
From early in the morning, 
till night when I start to pray. 
 
The first thing in the morning, 
there's nothing I can say. 
Can't put my arms around you, 
you are too far away. 
 
I walk around my mountain, 
then I get a little tear. 
It could be a better place, 
if only you were here. 
 
Comes the middle of the day, 
as I finish up my book. 
But you're not here beside me, 
no matter how hard I look. 
 
Then I go out to eat, 
at a place we both should go. 
But I eat here all alone, 
with people I don't know. 
 
Now comes the hard part, 
when it's time to go to bed. 
I dream of you beside me, 
but it's only in my head. 
 
I hope I've answered your question, 
I've thought it through and through. 
The answer is Yes, my darling, 
I'm really missing you.

	         "Every Time" 
              If every time you crossed my mind, 
a drop of rain should fall, 
We could swim forever, 
in the greatest ocean of them all. 
 
If every time I dreamed your face, 
A flower bloomed anew, 
I could walk eternally, 
in my garden next to you. 
 
If every time I imagined your smile, 
a star was placed in sight, 
Darkness would never fall upon, 
our love's endless light. 
 
And if every time I needed you, 
A bird sang its song, 
Our symphony would keep on playing, 
long after we are gone.
