I will be there when you wake from sleeping
I'll brush your hair with my fingertips
hold you close and tell how I love you
then I'll kiss your soft warm lips.
But so very long now you have been sleeping
in a place that's very far away
it seems strange that you are right here with me
but in a very different place.
I miss you.. yet I have you with me
I so long to hold you tight
I am with you every waking moment
but loneliness holds me close each night.
I will be there when you wake from sleeping
to brush the soft hair from your waking face
then to say how very much I love you…
and to welcome you back from such a different place.
Inspired by those that wait by the bedsides
of their loved ones as they sleep in a different place.
