AS I LAY HERE

As I lie here beside you, I watch you sleep
In peaceful slumber, with dreams so deep
My mind starts to wander, to the time we share
As the moonlight glows, in your soft  hair

The gentle light, dances across your face
As I see beside me, an angel of grace
For God has sent you, to be my only love
As I gaze upon the beauty, that was sent from above

The twinkle of the stars, glistens upon your back
As you breath, so slightly, runs across my neck
I hold you in my arms and a tear falls from my eyes
I love you so much and, yet, I am surprised

That God in all his glory, and wisdom through and through
Would ever grace my lonely life, with a wonderful love like you
Often times I wonder, how long this love will last
Will it go on forever, and never be in the past

Our future holds the best laid plans
But tonight our fate is in my hands
As I watch you sleeping, in my arms
I keep and protect you, from all the harms

In this quite moment, while all is fast asleep
These thoughts I ponder, are ours to keep
For I know I don't deserve, a love like you can give
I can only hope and pray to God, that with me you will live
