GOOD NIGHT SWEET KNIGHT

I thought I'd share a song I wrote for my son...
David was a Gulf War vet who died as a result of Gulf War Illness which he suffered with for 13 years...he was 36.

GOOD NIGHT SWEET KNIGHT

My grief is a constant companion
Too familiar the sting of my tears
But I know that our Lord has released you
From all of your suffering and fears.

I pray that my sorrow will somehow
Give way to my memories so sweet
And until we are someday united
There's a piece of my heart that you keep.

Now that you have complete healing
You know how you touched all our lives
You're a part of so many who love you
And a brave shining knight in my eyes.

So I'm wishing you sweet dreams my darling
Sweet rest from your terrible fight
Remember that I'll always love you
My baby, my son, my sweet knight.
