~As You Sleep~

your face is in peace, lamps set on low, i see you lit in dark of night glow, smile to my face i touch your cheek an think how very specials this time, slight move in peaceful sleep a small memory i vow to keep, you found my hand with yours an hugged it in, you'd no idea as I lay watchin you sleep awhile, a little thing to some, to me . . . . brings a smile, it's a thought of what once was an it'll once again be. . . .~

Ty boysh, it is that, an ok to give from a man's thoughts as you've supported it, as I've written it, everyone has a place like this in them, some see it some don't.
