Come Here



Come Here

Come here and place your weary head
upon this pillow saved for you
and rest a while with me instead
of toiling long past twilight's dew.

Come here and I will sing the song
that calls you back from where you roam
and helps you find your way along
the darkened path that leads you home.

Come here and let me hold you tight
and offer you sweet bread and wine
to ease your hunger through the night
until you wake from sleep divine.

Come here with me inside this place
and stay abiding evermore
where dreams are kept in love's embrace
and hope is seen through heaven's door.

    Thankyou for your poem, it struck a chord.
    The marriage vows till death do us part.
    But for some, death does not separate us
    But makes the memories the best dreams ever !
    23 years single
    54 yeas married
    11 years widower
    88 years altogether !
    = a lifetime to treasure !
