It goes like this:

Oh sun in the sky, please tell me why I miss that girl so much.
Oh moon and stars, wherever you are I need your special touch.

It’s obvious that the poet is still fond of his first wife and they both shared a special bond from the beginning stages of dating. He goes on to read:

Oh wind and trees, and gentle breeze, please whisper in her ear.
Please tell her that I miss her so, and that I need her near.

They both have been together for a long time and he wants her to know how much he loves her and wants to be able to feel close to her.

The poem continues with the words,

Ocean, lake, don’t hesitate, combine your efforts please.
Please let your waves caress her face, and kiss her pretty knees.
Oh help her to remember, the many hours we spent,
just looking at the waves go by, that made us so content.

This poem is about their memories together, and about the many trips, they’ve been on together even though they are apart today. What a sweet love they share and hopefully the modern generation will understand the beauty of poetry to share feelings with loved ones.

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

Verse of the Day

“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”

Luke 2:16-20
