I'M Just a Phone Call Away

When feeling lost, you know what to do

The heavenly stars 
warmly wink, like my eyes
to guide you

On the road you’ve taken, I let leaves tango 
with the wind, so you’ll perceive my presence

And, the cicadas chant 
with the river of hope. Their song’s my voice
to give comfort 

Hey, the stars want you to look at them
so they can snap a picture of you 

When the night is heavy 
they uplift the body from despair, for the soul 
to soar, like eagle, free

My child, know that I love you
