131. LAST NIGHT....

Last night while you were sleeping 

I pulled up the cover to make sure 

that you were always warm and comfortable....

Last night while you were sleeping 

I sat quietly and watched 

your eyes fluttering in dreams....

Last night while you were sleeping 

I kissed your forehead and told myself 

how lucky I was to have you by my side....

Last night while you were sleeping 

I brushed away the wisps of hair from your face 

and reminded myself how much I love you....

Last night while you were sleeping 

I listened to the soft sound of your calm breathing 

and I thanked God for the gift of you....

Last night as I sat watching you sleep 

I prayed to The Almighty to grant me this privilege 

of meeting you, knowing you, being with you 

and loving you until eternity

only then, could I lay myself beside you 

and close my eyes to sleep. 

Good night my love, 

let us rest our weary bodies and tired mind....
