I Want You to Open Your Eyes


I want you to close your eyes,

And picture clear skies.

Imagine pretty places,

Smiles on familiar faces.

Soft kisses in the rain,

Bandages for the pain.

See boys and girls alike,

Ride through parks on bikes.

Feel the ocean's wave,

See the world's crystal caves.

Touch animals' soft fur,

Fast rollarcoasters a blur.

Eating your favorite plate,

Going on movie dates.

Wandering through late nights,

The mountains in your sights.

The smell of clean clothes,

Feeling sand between your toes.

Here, take my hand,

And try to understand:

That the world is full of beauty.

I say as I look at you knowingly.
