Sleepers


From cradle to grave
Our souls, our very being
In lessons we must brave
Stored, where know one will be seeing

Our very own little realm
Helping us cruise life’s highway
The guilder at the helm
Making sure we don’t stray

Inevitably called to home
To await another chance on Earth
In Heaven will you roam
As it grows with every girth

For each of us a soul mate
A longing to find that grows deeper
As we cling to the hand of fate
Until then…    
               We are only sleepers

This is so special to me and especially right now....after all these years I have finally found my soul mate and we have learned to talk without talking and I know in my heart that it is from the previous times we shared....Lovely read and thank you for your perfect timing.

For each of us a soul mate

As we cling to the hand of fate
Until then…

Our chance on earth in now and we no longer sleep.....(friends only in this life)
