I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep I could see that you weere crying, you found it hard to sleep I whined to you softly, as you brushed away a tear "Its me, I havent left you, Im 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, that you poured one for me I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore I longed to take your shopping, 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 lying there I walked with you towards 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, as you sank into a chair I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there It's possible for me to be so near you every day 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 "goodnight beloved, 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.
