My mother-in-law wrote this today and sent this to me this afternoon and I had to share it. It makes me sad and miss Mark, but it also gives me hope. I ask my sweet prince to come to me in my dreams every night.
Tonight My Sweet Prince Will Come
I wake in the morning with you on my mind
Your dad is still asleep, finally able to unwind
My heart starts to get heavy just missing you
I go about getting ready for the day feeling blue
Our life would be so different if you were here
My arms would not be aching to hold you near
Last night I saw how big you have grown
My dreams are filled with only you alone
The drive into work is quiet now
I planned to play nursery rhymes for you nice and low
Every sad song I hear brings on more tears
Instead it is your cries that I long to hear
Once at work, your picture on my desk
I press my finger to your face and caress
Those around me try to be kind
But they don’t know the sorrow you left behind
I try to stay busy they say the pain will ease
What I learned recently is there are no guarantees
When work is all done and I drive away
My thoughts turn to you and there they will stay
The evenings now are the worst
They should have been filled with your energy bursts
But instead I am left with an empty heart
I must be determined not to fall apart
My sleep is filled with thoughts of joy
It is then that I can finally see our little boy
In my dreams I am free to see you for to me you come
I get to see all that you would have become
Your golden hair blows gently in the breeze
Your dad and I chase you among the trees
You giggle and laugh as Daddy tickles your toes
As you lay in the grass you begin to doze
When you awake we are by your side
Our hearts are full of love and pride
We spend the day laughing and playing
May this day never end I am praying
You fall asleep in my arms
I put you to bed and set my alarm
When I open my eyes I have to smile
For again my sweet prince you blessed me for awhile
