Beneath My Pillow

Holding hands beneath my pillow

Gives me comfort through the night

Just the simple touch we share

Let’s me know things will be all right

When we snuggle its like butter

Melting into perfect form

Come here close so I can savor

Remnants of your perfume worn

Neck of silk and hair of gold

That flows so gently in the breeze

Yours the heart that won me over

You’re the one I want to please

Seeing how you love our children

Shows me more than you could know

I’ve been blessed to watch you tend

The garden where our children grow

God gave me a second chance

The day you came into my life

For on the day God made this man

He also planned you’d be my wife

Each night as I lay my head down

I thank God for who you are

We hold hands beneath my pillow

Blessed we’ve been to come so far

Waking up is always special

Cuddling close at break of day

I feel love within the arms

That ask me once again to stay

All day long I day dream of you

Helping me through weary days

I take refuge in sweet memories

Hoping not real soon to wake.
