Sleep deprivation my heart weighed heavily upon this earth

As with each day, sorrowed breath

For what life’s day brought new, placing at my feet so worn

Until, one day I felt, deep within my soul, a need

A soul had called outstretched in deepest despair

A need, a yearn, a prayer.

A prayer was I, in humble solitude did plead

To find a soul in need, truly could I help

To ease their pain, to hide from pain my soul did yearn

To do God’s bidding, and move on in life

A rid of grave, and beauty dwell.

One day I found that soul I sought,

to ease their burden, and their pain

Little did I realise what else I was to gain.

Now my soul a friend has found, it’s Eternal mate!
