Michele F Bill

After so many sleepless nights

And so many tosses and turns

So many aches and pains

And cuts and burns

With the weight of a thousand moments

Making you tired beyond belief

You closed your eyes to sleep that night

And finally got relief

I last saw you with a smile

After your final

Call

In this life

I hope with all

Of my heart

That my parting

Of “Sweet dreams”

Ended your strife

And I pray that you knew-

That you know –

You were loved –

And loved

Loved with the strength you held as

You awoke to each new dawn

Loved with the strength that you held

Until the moment you were gone
