I wrote this poem for my husband, knowing how short our time on earth is. I want him to know that we will meet in Heaven. The Lord brought us together and we give Him thanks for that.
*YOU WERE THERE* *I reach across the bed at night* *I find you lying there.* *I touch your hand and scoot up close,* *I say a little prayer.* *I hear you breathing softly* *The shadow on your face.* *How did we get this old my love* *Our youth has left without a trace.* *The moonbeams glow through the drape* *Not a doubt do I feel* *I love you more each passing day* *It shows with such great zeal.* *I listen as your breathing slows* *I know within my heart* *I love you even more today* *Than I did from the very start.* *You mean so much to me my dear* *I tell you from my heart* *I’ll be with you till the very end* *Until we two must part.* *Written by Kathryn Neff Perry* *©copyright 2008* *All rights reserved.*
