Operation Just Cause...                                                                          ...for as long as it takes
As I stood beside your bed last night
to watch over you as you slept,
I could see that you were crying
and even MY eyes wept....
I gathered you tightly in my arms
and brushed away your tears,
as I whispered softly "it's okay my darling,
It's me, I am here"....
As you reached for my picture
on the nightstand by the bed,
I leaned right over you
and heard every word of love you said....
I tried so very hard to let you know
that I was standing there,
just as you somehow knew
I was at The Wall, and I still care....
I hope that you now know
somehow, somewhere, someway,
that I am always with you
and that I never went away....
