To say the things that inspire, with love and kindness,
bring happiness and calm sighs
To provide a smile, provoking gentle words,
that bring a glimmer from your eyes,
To grasp your hand, held out in need,
and provide help without qualification
Giving a gentle touch across furrowed brows,
that help to ease our tension
These are the things I think to do,
while sitting next to you
As I hold back the tears, awaiting,
for our time together here, soon to be through
The solace that I find, is in appreciation,
of the beauty of our time together
And that God will provide for both of us,
through darkness and stormy weather
So we’ll say our goodbyes, sadness in our hearts,
knowing it’s not the end
Awaiting the moment, that we will embrace each other,
smiling once again
In final earthly words, I ask that God bestow upon you,
his blessings and his grace
Knowing that where you are, you’ll keep the seat warm,
saving me a place
With so much LOVE
Your child
