Ilene Townsend Poet Lyric

That Was Me So Many Miles Away

As I retired for the night 
and crawled into my bed 
thoughts were of you 
sleeping so far away. 

Did you feel a soft gentle 
breeze upon your cheek?
That was me so many miles away. 

Before I closed my eyes 
to sleep I whispered,
“Good Night and I Love You” 
with a Kiss I blew it your way. 

As the hours and miles elapse  
the distance between us 
grows wide but, the love 
in my heart draws me closer to you. 

This morning
did your heart leap?  
That was me so many miles away. 

Before I began my day 
I whispered,
 “Good Morning and I Love You”  
and sent it with a hug to your heart. 

As the days and nights go by
while you are absent from my sight.
I’ll be thinking of you 
with every breath that I take.

When you feel a sudden 
Surge of strength.
That is me so many miles away.

Before I close my eyes at night
and begin a new day, even in between.
I will be whispering,
“I Love You”  and send it with my heart.

I await your return.
Saving all my Tight Hugs 
and Sweet Kisses
for the Love of my Life.
