gave up trying to get to sleep after a while and wrote this. I lay awake and toss and turn Sleep eludes me yet again There’s an empty spot next to me A mirror of the one in my heart Its waiting for you to fill it With love and tenderness and warmth And though this bed is not meant for two Id gladly share it, and everything with you Id hold you close, cradled in my arms Id kiss you softly before you drift to sleep And sing you sweet melodies To ease you into your dreams And with you next to me Id close my eyes and sigh Finally at peace again Id join you in contented slumber Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you. |

As I sit here staring at my monitor,thinking I need to get to bed....... This is so wonderful.It feels sad, but it feels soft and warm and snuggly too. I love it.  -SEA |

'Its waiting for you to fill it With love and tenderness and warmth And though this bed is not meant for two Id gladly share it, and everything with you' Absolutely beautiful poem, Keith! There are just certain people with whom we'd even share our beloved bed with!  Loved it!! sp  Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

This is lovely; sometimes those beds that aren't meant for two are the very best kind to share Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

I think SEA said it best, this is sad, yet warm and snuggly at the same time.....missing the one you love gives you that kinda feeling, huh? Great write my friend, I enjoyed! *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Helen Keller |
