Fiona Davidson - For P.J.

Sleep overcame your senses
Chemicals mixed into a lullaby
Inducing silence on this place
I talked but did you really listen?
Eyes closed against the pain
Hours spent just hearing you breathe
Moments spent to say goodbye
Your hand in mine held tightly
Whispered words of lasting impact
You looked for just a short while
To see that I wanted you to leave
Then slipped so quietly from me
But you will always be here
Inside my heart, my darling friend
The rainbow shone for you tonight
As I watched it fade to grey clouds
I knew it was your time to soar
No angels stood here beside us
No god to lead you to heaven
Just my thoughts to guide you
And my love to carry you home
I hope you are looking down on me
And can see the pride I hold for you
Eternal thanks for having known you
Eternal love for being so blessed

Dedicated to P.J.06/03/54 to 01/09/09 R.I.P angel.
