He held her, knowing it would be the last time.

Peacefully she does sleep,
As he holds her and sadly weeps.
The angels came and took her in the night,
No one knows yet of his sad plight.
She had rested on his chest for many a year,
Each year was treasured, each one held dear.
Although her body was cold, he held on tight,
He could not let go or have her leave his sight.
He had always been her Prince Charming and she was his Sleeping Beauty,
Soon he must make the call that meant final separation, it was his duty.
Just a little longer, he will hold his true love,
Then a final kiss, that must last until they meet up above.
