~ I Stood By Your Bed ~ |
|
I
stood beside your bed last night I
came to have a peek I
could see that you were crying You
found it hard to sleep I
whined to 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 tea You
were thinking of the many times Your
hand reached down to me I
was with you at the shops 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 though That
I'm not lying there I
walked with you toward the house As
you fumbled for your key I
gently put my paw on you I
smiled and said "It's me."
You
looked so very tired As
you rested in the chair I
tried to let you know That
I was standing there It's
possible for me to be So
near you everyday To
say to you with certainty "I
never went away." You
sat there very quietly Then
you smiled, I think you knew In
the stillness of that evening I
was very close to you. The
day is over……Now 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 And then come to be with me |
