With heavy heart, I let you go, <br />every night just before the dawn. <br />You can’t stay, though I wish you could, <br />but your home beckons you. <br />One day we will be together, <br />never having to part. <br />Never having to say goodbye, <br />just before the dawn. <br /> <br />One day you will wear my ring, <br />a little band of gold. <br />We will be together forever, <br />if God wishes it so. <br />Until that day comes along, <br />I’m just going to have to be strong, <br />and watch you disappear, <br />just before the dawn. <br /> <br /> <br />(13 June 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-before-the-dawn/
