I wake to the touch of a morning sun
Softly teasing my eyes apart
I feel your arms tighten around
Sealing yet another non existent space

I turned around to face you
Feeling blessed from the millionth time
I stared at your sleeping self
Murmuring a silent prayer of thanks

At a dark time you were sent to me
To shed some light on my weakening being
I held on tight to your secure hands
As you pulled me out of a painful mess

I found the smile I though I had lost
I found love so certain and pure
I found your eyes so full of care
As it healed so well my bruised soul

I kissed your brow slow and soft
Anxious not to wake you up
Tears form spilling my love
I see your eyes open up

Just as a drop runs down my cheek
I feel your hands brushing it off
That I know is the act of love
I was gifted with an eternally crowned.

I bear against the rising sun
Peeling eyes open once more
I turned expecting your strong embrace
Only to realize you're no longer there

A distance memory can bring much strength
I raise towards the morning sun
Murmuring to myself once more
Thanking god for your love

Although not here I feel your present
Begging me to continue on
I smile to myself again
Whispering "thank you love"
