Until The Last Flake Falls
As you sit beside me
Smiling as best as you could
Holding my frail hands in yours
You say a prayer
In your sweet, gentle voice
Hesitating on every single word
As much as I wanted yo
I could not answer
To your silent pleas
I wanted to hold you
And say it would be alright
I can feel the tears
Streaming down your face
Drip Drop
As it falls onto mine
The snow continues
To fall
Making a blanket of white
That only you and me could have
Even though I cannot speak
Please let my heart
Reach yours
And hear it say
I will be with you
Until the last flake falls
