Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep
I close my eyes as I weep
My heart's broken, so incomplete
I lost my friend, Paul, so sweet
We both lived on the same street
A few doors away, few hundred feet
Where we would watch tv & eat
Hugs, kisses our love was a treat
For me no love could ever compete
I lost my love, a great defeat
His heart belongs to Jesus, no beep
Gone in an instant, no great feat
Taken to heaven, one day we'll meet
Jesus I long to share a seat
To once again feel our hearts beat
Mine died, feels cold, lost all heat
I want to feel Paul's heart leap
Into my soul like a river, deep
Taking hold like ground to a cleat
That would be the best, so neat
To have no regrets, just be complete
To be happy once again, no conceit
So I close my eyes & weep
As I lay me down to sleep

Author's Note

I love you & I miss you so much Paul. My life is lonely without you. 8 yrs, & I know you said no regrets, but I have only one, that I could not go to heaven with you. I can't wait to see you on the other side.. 8 yrs without you, 8 yrs closer to being with you for eternity. I love you so much xoxox

I understand your feelings, I lost my husband in July of 2013 and miss him still today. With God, all things are possible for those that love Him. Valentine
