Close Your Eyes (My Child)

I miss you. Some days more than others... I know it is for the best that we are not together, that we barely talk... But sometimes I just can't help it. I miss you. Life has taken flips and turns for the both of us. But you are still a wonderful person; though I know you don't see it... I Love you, always have and always will...




Close your Eyes my child, walk with me
Take my hand,
don't be afraid. I am your friend. I take her hand, and walk slowly
She seems so warm, so loving
She speaks with age and certainty. My Child, you will see
A purpose and a love
By closing your eyes
They will be opened

After some time, she no longer spoke
I just heard her thoughts
Like she was inside my head

My Child, Memories
You've lost touch, become isolated
Open your heart and close your eyes.
You shall see.


Though my eyes are closed
I feel my surroundings. I know where I am
Deep in my heart I am always here.


My Child, let your heart speak.
Let your mind wander
Let the love flow. You have shut it out
. Never shut that off My child.

I am sitting on an old railroad tye
I feel the breeze through my hair, something brushes me cheek
I can smell him


A sweet scent that I shall never forget nor mistake. He is sitting next to me, touching my face
loving me and holding me.
He speaks, tells me he loves me
a tear falls gently down my cheek
He tells me to remember, to hold on


The old lady has again grasped my hand
we are walking away now.
I turn to look back, my eyes still closed
I can hear her, My Child, do not look back
only forward but never back.



I smell fire
I hear laughter and love
I've never heard such a beautiful sound as love
I listen closer, feel with my heart
The laugh is unmistakeable, full of sunshine
Her giggle always brought my smile
I hadn't seen her in so long, I longed for her
I reached out my had, and she hers
Almost there, a little further.

My Child, move with me
The old lady called me away
Life is made up of memories, Memories are made of Love
and Love is made of Life.

These people will always love you
The feel your pain
The hold your hand and pat your back
My Child, Keep your eyes closed.

I am sitting on a fence post.
I feel arms slip around my waist
His face touching mine, his arms holding me.
I'm on top of the world. He whispers in my ear
Without opening his mouth.
He is careful, not saying to much. Just right
A connection so strong it will never be broken
A Love that will last forever

My Child, these moments won't last
Take my hand once more
Walk with me
Keep them shut tight, feel with your heart.


After a short distance she stops and turns to me
Removing her hood, I see her face
So beautiful
Youthful

These faces are your life my child
They are memories and love
They were sent to you for a reason
To Love you, to hold you.
You embraced them for a moment in time
They embrace you for an eternity.

When you feel pain
Close your eyes as you have now. See Them
Feel them and let them love you
They entered your life for a reason
Stayed only a short time but will forever live in your heart


On the Coldest day in July
When you reach for your tattered comfort
He is embracing you
Hugging you and loving you
Giving you that little push to cry

In the middle of your darkest night
When you feel alone and hurt
She will make you laugh, her memories
She gave to you as a gift

When you face a situation
You simply want to break down, cry my dear
He will wipe away your tears
He is there for that.
His love will hold you

I can't help but ask
WHo are you?

My Child, I, Like them, have entered your life
I am here to guide you
When your road forks, close your eyes and take my hand
Walk down this path and embrace them

When you need a friend
Close your eyes
Tightly
And I will be there, to answer your questions.

Close your eyes
