WHILE YOU SLEEP.......

While you sleep.....I lie awake. Yet, dreaming all the same. Dreaming of the escape sleep offers my body for a few hours.
While you sleep.....I lie awake. Looking at you and the girls, listening to the night sounds that are made by you all.
While you sleep.....I thank God for the day, for you, for our children and ask him for a new day, each day a gift.
While you sleep......I try not to forget. The smallest detail. But I know I will ...it happens more than I likely know.
While you sleep......I sometimes try to forget. How good normal can feel. What has been lost. How time flies.
While you sleep.....I fear the future and what it may hold. Reminding myself that God is in control.
While you sleep.....I pray. Usually not for me. But for others who need God's blessings more than I. And I know you pray for me.
While you sleep.....
While you sleep.....
While you sleep.....
