you are resting
far away in the hospital bed
i am waiting for you…
here in my heart, not my head
i look at the genius
portrayed in your art
i imagine the thought
that gave you the start
i wonder in amazement
at the skill of your hand
so deftly touching
the paper as the pencil ran
the body in motion
gives pause to contemplate
the colors of birch
challenge the slate
reminders of you
are all around
reminders of you
your love knows no bounds
i know you are sleeping
you keep the dreams for the day
I know you are resting
healing is on the way
I can only whisper
and offer my prayer
I can only let you know
that I sincerely care
I sit here in silence
praying for your best
I sit here and pray
that LOVE gives you some rest
