While you were sleeping

While you were sleeping across the other side of the world
The sun rose out of the eastern skies telling me it was time to rise
Heralding the promise of sunshine & another blessed day
While you were sleeping the birds began to sing in the new day
They sang with such beauty, such joy, blessing the day to come
I imagined God looking down upon us all in His unconditional love
While you were sleeping I travelled far & wide to see my girl
Though the heat was terrible, the sun seared the very air around
I had the pleasure of driving with the air-conditioner on
While you were sleeping I played with my precious grandchildren
We had the best of times, sitting in a tiny swimming pool
Enjoying the freshwater fun away from the glaring sun
While you were sleeping we travelled back & forth
Yes we travelled south from the hot, hot north, checked out the house
Yes we had a look at the new home where we will share new days
While you were sleeping we watched the rain fall down in sheets
Covering everything around, oh how I love that pattering sound
The air refreshed, the heaviness gone away, negative ions at play
While you were sleeping we ate our meals together as a family
We shared the laughter & the joys of another beautiful day
Yes while you were sleeping all these things happened to me
So far away across the seven seas, overland up over mountains
My heart soared with love for my dear family, my thoughts were with you
