Remember Me...

Remember me when you go into the night,
and know that I await your return to me.
Know that I pray for you while you toil,
and hope you come back safe and sound.

I know we need the money, so you must go
and work in the night to earn your pay.
I'm just afraid that you will not return...
I know it's silly, but I do miss you so.

I packed you a snack, and see you off to work.
I smile as you leave, but I do fret so inside.
The night will be lonely without you around...
just the TV and my thoughts to keep me company.

As I nestle on the couch, remote in my hand,
I know that sleep will come for me in the night.
When you return, my dear, gently arouse me,
so that I can hear about how your night went.
