As She Slept
Her eyes led me to this
Christmas morning a time not to miss
presents waiting to be opened as others slept
I sat thinking of her touch her lips the time she wept
for years we spent this day with gratitude and contempt
this years fills no different up to early alone, time well spent
the time is spent remembering Christmas's past before this
Her kiss my best gift
to have what is...this
I could never see now
my life I don't even know how
watching as my wife and kids sleep
being blessed with the memories I keep
never hungry, never cold, no more bitterness
Held in her arms
a world with no harm
a life I always wanted
fillings blocked and hid
a winner one who has it all
a true fortune one with no fall
I have it all right here in her arms
As she slept
her love kept
a man that is
a love that is his
a gift so many seek
I have here to keep
even so as she slept.
