The night is closing in
I breathe we made it through
Although the bed was his best friend
I give praise in all you do
Not much speaking
Not many tears
I sense a lot of thinking
About the past years.
I wish that I could get inside
And see the thought process
But it is private for him to know
And time for me to regress
Only you God have the answers
Only you know the perfect time
My wish is for another day
Is my asking so out of line?
I will go now and say goodnight
I will make him nice and dry
I will hold his hand and tell him
I love him with a small tear in my eye.

You offer and give him so much more than that Terry

I guess I should have reworded it differently. I wish I could offer him more in relieving his pain or making his life full of joy instead of sadness. does this make more sense?

thank you Sheri. I do love him very much. Maybe more because he is my only blood sibling and we are all we have left. What ever the reason and what ever happens I know you will be here with me. To me, this brings great comfort
