A Poem ~

For Anyone Who is Missing Anyone This New Year

Close Your Eyes
Author Unknown

I can't be with you today
but if you close your eyes and think
I'll be beside you in the kitchen
wearing your shirt - standing by the sink.

I'll be with you in the bedroom
waiting quietly on your bed
Just close your eyes and think of me,
relive those memories in your head.

I'll stand by you in the bathroom,
an unlikely place to meet
I'll smile at you so playfully
as I brush my teeth.

I'll be your light in the darkness,
shining steady through and through
You only have to watch it glow
to know I think of you.

I'll be the music that you listen to,
I'll be there in every song
I'll laugh with you and sing with you,
and comfort you when your day's gone wrong.

I'll be the wind that ruffles your hair,
I'll be that warm embrace;I'll be the hand on your shoulder,
I'll be the tender touch on your face.

I'll be the clock gently ticking,reminding you of the times;
We've shut the rest of the world outsidewe're in our own world - yours and mine.

I'll be the moon as it dances
on the water cold and still

For I have loved you always
and I know I always will.

Though you may not see me physically
as you live your life today
Just close your eyes and think of me

I will not be far away.
