An Open Eye To See You

An open eye to see you
And moving lips to praise
A dull mind to remember
And a long life to waste
An open hand to hold you
And silent heart to love
A dark place it may be
But beautiful as sky above
A beautiful life not to get you
And the worst part to wait
Some memories to cherish all life
Plenty of them to regret 
A clod wind to freeze my heart
And your soft voice to support
A life in land flown away to distant seas
Left alone to float
