Opened Eyes
Slowly I walk weary down the street
Staggering forward feeling so weak.
Thoughts of death roam my mind,
As I leave thoughts of life behind.
I give out a call for Kristy,
That responds back so bleakly.
As I wander around these churning halls,
I wonder of God's supposed miracles.
I sit here so quiet and lonely
Softly my sister comes near to me,
Saying this is not my time to be -
People would be in misery.
I wake to a sound back in my head;
Only those who love themselves
Can lay in God's flower bed.
The voice now echoes clear to me,
My sister saying; "now you truly see".
