As we lay here on the pillow together; cheek to cheek
I pray that I that when my vision goes I will always
remember just how liquid brown your eyes are and
I pray that I won’t forget how it feels when your eyelashes
flutter I can feel a small breeze on my cheek and
I pray that one day when my hearing starts to leave me that I
never forget just how sweet the sound of you sucking your thumb is and
I pray that when I get older and my hands don’t move so easily
that I still remember just how good it felt to rub my hands through your hair
just soft enough to put you too sleep and
I pray that when my memory gets faulty I don’t forget how
you say “annanennoppee” instead of l, m, n, o, p; when you sing your abc’s and
I pray that I never forget how it feels when you give me
sweet kisses on my forehead and
I pray that I don’t forget how soft your hands when they
touch my cheek and
I pray…..
