TIRED EYES

[Cheryl Lynn Ambrose]

I wrote this poem over 10 years ago.  It means more to me now then ever before.  It speaks volumes to me because at the very end it expresses the RIGHT NOW moment that I AM FEELING.  I just never knew it before.  Never knew it until NOW.  The poem makes reference to the past and the future but the last sequence is talking about RIGHT NOW.  Gosh!!!  Over 10 years later ......I just never knew it until NOW.  The ironic thing is that it is titled TIRED EYES but for the first time I feel like my eyes have been fully awakened.  Amazing!!

 

TIRED EYES : by Cheryl Lynn Ambrose

Maybe I would think you were more real

If my eyes did not have to picture you here

It would be very nice to feel

That you were at least a little sincere

 

These visions will not last for long

As I am sure someone else will be in my view

But I am feeling like you belong

Right where my heart grew

Since the day that I saw you

 

And I can not believe it has only been days

Because I feel like it has been a long time

Do not let my memory get a haze

Do not let me go blind

 

So I may be thinking of something

That does not even exist

But I am hanging here on a thin string

To something I can not resist

 

So if you feel even remotely close

To what I am feeling for you

Then I will be here waiting

To make your dreams come true

 

But if time will eventually pass

And your face gently fades away

I will still be glad I had the chance

To meet you on that day

 

Or if time bends and leads me back

As if I never left

I will kiss you with grace

And take you in my arms

And surround you with a loving embrace

 

But life will lead us to where God has planned

No matter how I would like things to really be

But I feel like I have upon me His hand

And the guidance that led you to me
