As I Lay Me Down

Now I lay me down to sleep
        I realize my day is incomplete,
        for I am not beside my sweet,
        since her days far from complete.
I dream our love we’ll forever keep!
        Sweet memories of you creep 
        through my mind as I fall asleep
        as with our love, my rest is deep.
If I shall die before I wake,
        know it was not from heartache.
        You’ll be the last thought I make
        allowing my forever easier to take.
I pray our love will never break.
        Loss of my touch may be hard to take.
        know my love of you all was never fake,
        your love of me I will never forsake.
