Silence

My precious

Laying awake in bed,

Daughter at my side,

Talking meaningless nothings,

Listening to others partying.

Slowly, but with certainty, 

The Sandmans dust does control.

Final kiss goodnight,

Does speed her eyes to close.

Rhythmic breathing, lulls and grips.

Peaceful beauty, oh so dear,

Nothing would I change,

For me, she is my life,

Embrace her tightly before I go,

To mine own bed, by my wife.

Never knew I could love another,

For once, being wrong, feels good.

Moments so beautiful, gone so soon,

Always remembered in my heart.

Cherish these moments, there are so few.

Close my eyes and offer my thanks,

To a God, I almost lost.

He still had faith in me,

To send my daughters soul,

To guide me back, from where I was lost.
