Songs With Our Eyes Closed

Every morning we used
to hear you sing
your free spirited melodies
about holding
onto God's unchanging hands
and dreaming of one day meeting him
by the river of life on the other side

Eleven years since you went home
we still hear those free spirited melodies
you sang echoing through our minds
with our eyes closed
as we dream of meeting you
by the river of life
on the other side
