See Me Now
see me while my eyes are open
don’t delay until they close
sealing away my soul’s window
look within, see the love and joy I hold
capture this moment
remember me this way
when the light leads your eyes to heaven
think of me, smile sometimes
let laughter be my legacy
I cannot live today if you fear tomorrow
my eyes are open
see me now
