Last night

You nearly cried last night
As in those cold morning hours
You held my picture
And thought of me

You nearly saw last night
As, from the corner of your eye
Just out of view
I stood, and watched, and blessed you

You nearly felt last night
As in that half-state
Between waking and sleep
I kissed your hair and touched your hand

You nearly heard last night
As all the voices from this side
Called out to you
saying ‘We’re still here!,
we love you, we care for you
And we will watch and wait
Until we can talk with you 
…. and you can hear us

You nearly believed last night………
