Close the eyes
that steal the soul.
Dry the tears
that break the heart.
Take hold of the hands
that need you most.
Kiss the lips
that love you best.
Pray to the Lord
who will forever
keep you close.
Do not look back on the pain,
the anger and hate.
Be blind to what you have lost,
but linger for eternity
in what you will gain.
