~I
STOOD BESIDE YOUR BED LAST NIGHT~
~Author Unknown~
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 coffee,
You were thinking
of how much you
LOVED 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 possile
for me to be
so near you
everyday.
To say to
you with certainty,
"I never went
away."
You sat there
very quietly, then
smile, 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
"goodnight,
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.
~IF LOVE ALONE~
~Author Unknown~
You never said, "I'm leaving."
You never said, "Good-bye."
You were gone before I knew
it,
and only God knows why.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved
you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a special
place,
no one can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone
for part of me went with you,
that day God called you home.
~YOU
AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD~
