Eternity
I lie in bed at night and pray,
That you will think of me.
I cry until my eyelids close,
And dream – eternity.
I wake to sunlight on my face,
For a moment, I forget.
Then a cloud passes by,
And I realize, this is it.
I carry on throughout the day,
Feigning joy, and feeling pain.
I long to gaze upon your face,
And share a smile, an embrace.
The day is drawing to an end,
And still I think of you.
I try to relax, yet in my mind,
I wonder what to do.
So now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord, me soul will keep.
And should you chance to think of me,
Know that I love you – eternally.
