Eternity

I lie awake in bed all night and pray,
That you will think of me.
I cry until my eyelids close,
And dream of eternity.
I wake to sunlight on my face,
For a moment I forget.
Then a cloud passes by,
And I realize this is it.
I carry on throughout the day,
Feigning joy and feeling pain.
I long to gaze upon your face,
And share a smile,
An embrace.
The day is drawing to an end,
and still I think of you.
I try to relax,
Yet in my mind,
I wonder what to do.
So now I lay me down to sleep,
and pray the lord my soul to keep.
And should you chance to think of me,
Know that I’ll love you eternally.
