BEFORE I CLOSE MY EYES
Before I close my eyes tonight,
I must ponder of my plight;
Of friends and foes and sorry souls;
Of precious hopes that take their tolls;
Of dreams and stories never told;
and destinies that to soon
unfold;
As I do, tears run through my eyes,
of thoughts of sorrow I despise;
Of lonesome hearts and tragic endings;
Of narrow minds, so unbending;
Of misbegotten lies and stealings,
dishonored trust and dirty dealings.
Thus I come to see the path,
of karma's smile and fateful laugh;
Now it’s time to close my eyes,
So that I might fantasize,
About a world that is fair,
and people who care.
Good night.
