 ~I STOOD BESIDE YOUR BED LAST NIGHT~ I stood beside your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, quietly in your sleep.  I touched you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour your coffee, You were thinking of how much You were in "Love" with me. I was with you at the store today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not really there. I walked with you to the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my hand on you, I smiled and said, "It's me." You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there. It's impossible for me, to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew... In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. The day is over...I smile and watch you yawning and say "Good Night, God Bless, I'll see you in the morning." And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out then come home to be with me. ~Author Unknown
