Sleep Tight “Sleep tight my darling with dreams of me” She whispered softly in his ear She slipped away in the night And left behind all she held dear The morning sun awoke him from slumber sweet And he reached to feel her near Reality blazed across his mind He’d awaken to his darkest fear He struggled to make sense of what she’d done Of why she’d gone away Then remembered quickly what he must do He began to prepare for his day He showered and dressed as quickly he could And in haste made way to his car Still lingering in his mind the wish and the kisses They’d shared beneath the first star Their love was an old one, a true one at that Two soul mates who never let go And he struggled to think if he’d said aloud What he thought she should already know He stood in the church as the bride walked up And searched to see her sweet face The memory of all they had shared His heart could not erase The words spoke aloud in the ceremony sweet Were lost upon his ears All he could hear were the words she had said He thought he remembered tears The vows now recited, the bride and the groom Walked with smiles down the aisle The woman in back slipped away silently For her it was the final mile She dried her tears and slipped a card Beneath the piles of presents from friends “To the Groom” the card read “Sleep tight, sweet dreams” And this is how it does end. |

On this one Elvira has once agin done a wonderul job of digging up an old one...Plenty of stories, alot of them buried somewhere in the far pages here, the others still waiting to be put in verse. Don't worry they are coming...(I've accepted late night writing as my curse!!) ------------------ For sometimes when the Darkness falls, we must surrender, take what is ours, and give what we can, and always remember love is somewhere waiting... |
