Sweet Dreams
I saw you getting weaker but little I could do
But hope and pray that everyday you could make it through
The smell of scented flowers as you would pass the hall
The way you walked so carefully hoping not to fall
The way you watched the sunset and did you best to try
To only show your happy feelings and not the way you cry
Your patient not bad tempered and always you would wait
As you travelled further towards the open gate
You always cared for others and not about yourself
Making yourself poorly and damaging your health
You weren’t the sort of person who wouldn’t hate to care
All the lovely thing’s you did making sure to share
As I looked more closely and saw you win the race
I saw the same old smile across your redrosed face
God sees you getting tired and thinks that you must go
For I shall meet you someday upon the winters snow
Angels come to take you but peacefully you sleep
For never will you wake from counting endless sheep
I’m sorry I must leave you but there’s a lot for you to see
The stars, The moon, The Milky Way but please remember me.
not my work but my 12yr old daughters written for her grandad who died last month ...but thought u might like a read.
