You open your eyes,
And search the room for me.
Sorry, my dear,
Your search is in vain,
I’m no where you can see.
You come home,
Yell to me you’re back,
And listen for my voice to reply.
Sorry, my love,
My voice you shall not hear,
No matter how hard you try.
You see me in your mind,
Reach out your hand to me,
To touch me, I seem so near.
Sorry, my son,
My image fades as you reach,
I’m in your thoughts, but I’m not here.
Worry not,
Let peace overcome you,
Do not count the painful days.
Calm, my precious,
You senses may fail you, yes,
But your heart knows I’m with you always.
