Foot gently grazing these jersey knit sheets,
Tasks and errands left to complete
Past, present and future encompass my mind
With worries and fears if all will be fine.
Stomach churning without any cease
No sweet tune to give my release
Tossing and turning for nights without end
Scholarship videos the new vocal trend
Fall employment offers opportunity
Living arrangements in fellow community
Five more years, this mess not yet finished
Not always loving the plate I've been dished
Thoughts, memories, and plans abound
And I realize I merely wish you around
Strong arms reaching and wrapping
Our nights together, we never stop laughing
Oh, into the curves of your body I curl
Feeling as safe as a little girl
Back to a wonder year without fear or worry
No matter solved by men and their jury
Quietly I close my eyes
Thanking the Lord of sea and sky
For giving to me the greatest of all
A love that survives from winter to fall
