My eyes are heavy,
and my mind is groggy
as I try to shake the fog
from my mind.
I feel the heat of your body
curled in against mine.
The curve so perfect and
we seem to fit just right.
I lean up on my elbow
to look upon the beauty of
your sleeping face.
As I watch out our window
I see the sun shimmering
across the fresh dew blown grass.
The birds light upon our window sill
as if waiting for us to wake.
Then as I watch the sun light
slowly creeps across our room.
It's shimmering rays of light
chasing away the night.
As I lay and look upon your face,
the sun slowly kisses you upon the cheek.
It lights up the beauty of your face
so peaceful in it's sleep.
Your hair shimmers in it's golden light
and I listen as you sigh so softly.
Then you snuggle even closer to me
trying to hide from the light.
Only one thought hits my mind as
I stare upon your face.....
Please God, never take me from
this place............
