For Mr.R.......

THE FOG ROLLED IN

It's cold tonight, and you're not here
The fog came in, the sun disappeared
The woods are quiet, the trees are still
Guess I'll go inside, the time to kill

The day is done, my chores complete
I know I should find something to eat
But nothing tempts me, hot or cold
It's not food I need, it's you to hold

The miles are many from there to here
To where you are, so far yet near
I hear your voice in this silent room
Though I'm alone, the quiet booms

My memories and I have a life all our own
We brave the cold, the dark, the dawn
My eyes are closed, yet still they see
The days are empty without thee

Tonight just tea by the fire will do
Till morning comes and I hear from you
