As I kneel beside my bed in prayer,
a comfort stills my aching thoughts.
the softest touch, a breath of air, a flash of white,
I turn,..... but silence fills the dark night.
Again I kneel, and bow my head,
as I grieve beside my lonely bed.
a soft caress of my tear-stained cheek;
I lift my eyes to dare a peek,
but silence fills the darkened room,
a lonely quiet, a tear-filled gloom.
I close my eyes, as grief sets in,
my sorrowful thoughts begin again.
And 'round me, warmth, as if someone's arms
were wrapped to hold me safe and warm.
And love so strong, as to break my heart,
drove the pain from every part.
As tear-filled eyes sought the heavens above,
I felt the peace of eternal love.
And I said to myself, as my grief slowly eased.....
"Surely, here, there are angels..........."
