Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes
Let the rain 
Whisper softly in your ear

Close your eyes
Let the sunlight turn the lids orange
And remind you of the hope in each new day

Caress the hope
Hold it in your hands
Let it swim into your soul

Caress the hope
Hold it in your heart
And may it carry you through life
