Close the curtains

Close the curtains
Block out the day,
I'm so sad
Now that you've gone away.

Days in bed
Too much to bear
Body feels like lead
It's so unfair.

I want you back!
It can't be true
That you're not here
For me to hold,
For me to watch
As we grow old.

Your lovely face
Your cheeky grin
Your sweet little hands,
The way you'd win
The heart of someone near.

Your gentle way
Always kind.
You would lay
Your hand in mine.

I'd cup your chin
Every time
That you needed to know
I loved you so.

But I couldn't protect you!
Some people say
And maybe it's true,
That your beautiful soul
Was not meant for this world;
You'd reached your goal.

But I'm not ready
And that may be selfish.
I wish that day had never come,
I'll always dream it could be undone.

I lie on my bed
My heart is sore
I miss you so much
The tears just pour.

I must lift my head
But not today
I just don't have the strength
And I guess that's ok.

Until at last the day is done,

It's time to play, my little one.

The stars dance with moonbeams

Let’s join them in my dreams.

xoxo
