Sleep Blissfully
The years your memory can never steal
Your smile still warms my heart; your touch I feel
And time can never make your love to fade
It speaks to me in flower, greenest blade
These years have no control on legacy
You've left your thoughts and dreams inside of me
From me they pass on to my dearest girl
Inside her fertile mind how they unfurl
Oh, mother dear, though years keep rolling by
You are alive and well in my mind's eye
I won't allow the ravages of time
Deface your love, I won't allow that crime
Sleep blissfully inside my beating heart
In every day I live, you have a part.
17 years have passed. Words are nothing. Memories remain....memories and the blessed hope of resurrection morning...
