I See You

I see you when I close my eyes,

Or with my eyes open wide,

Whether I am awake or asleep,

When I laugh or when I weep.

I see you in a baby’s smile,

And in the laughter of a child,

When watching boys play and run,

With sticks and toys having fun.

I see you in my dreams at night,

And with the early morning light,

In a lovely pale blue sky,

Watching clouds floating by.

I see you in the twinkling stars,

Gazing upward from afar,

When I look at your apple trees,

And in the gentle morning breeze.

I see you in every change of season,

Or for no specific reason,

In a song that will play,

You are with me every day.

I see you in funny stories,

Crazy movies and artistic glory,

When visiting with your friends,

Everything reminds me of you again.

I see you with all the love I have to give,

Your body died but you still live,

My dearest son and dream come true,

I see you.
