This morning as you slept
I pondered you and I
I listened to you breathing
and began to softly cry
these were not tears of sadness
but a comforting release
knowing that I had you
brought overwhelming peace
as you slept I held you tightly
knowing neither pain nor fear
and I whispered that I love you
though I knew you did not hear
as you slept I did some searching
a conversation with my soul
we agreed I’d found somebody
who truly made me whole
