Day to Day

I come home and make a drink
Time to cook, no time to think.
Kids and baths then off to bed
Tuck them in those sleepy heads.

And now it's quiet, I'm alone
In this shell that was our home.
I see you still in each doorway
So many things I have left to say.

I try to smile and get through each day
And pray for strength, just one more day.
Don't let them see your deep sorrow
For the best for you they think they know.

Just take a step and force a smile
Keep moving forward, just one more mile.
Until that day you can lay down
And plant your feet in solid ground.

May the Lord and Lady see me home
As soon as my work here is done
And draw me nigh unto his arms
And keep me safe from this world's harms.

And now I lay me down to sleep
My faith in love I'll always keep.
Sweet love of mine reach out your hand
And pull me into that sweet land

Of joy and peace and happiness
Where our two souls I know are blessed.
When next we meet my sweet love
Know that it was planned far above.
