Will you still be here as I sleep?
Your soul to guide me; my heart to keep? I now lay down my weary head But tears still tumble to the bed. It’s been so short yet feels so long The time now spent here on my own. The dreams we had have shattered fast And now I cling tight to the past. I fear your memory will fade away With each new passing every day So I must remember you liked my smile; Knowing you’d be here such a short while. The angels called; life flickered away We both then knew you could not stay. Prayers; thoughts; spells were cast Still we hoped until the last. But then the sands of time slipped down The final grain fell to the ground. I then kissed your cheek and said farewell; The hardest act, this earthly hell. But somewhere hope resides in me That one day when my soul flies free At Heaven’s Gate, I’ll see your face Until then, I’ll snuggle in love’s embrace.
