Unborn Eyes

The brightest eyes I’ve ever seen;
came to me last night in a dream.

“Hold on, Hold on, Please be strong;
for in your arms is where I belong”.

And oh the love, I felt through those eyes,
was stronger than any words can describe.

Unconditional, precious and oh so sweet,
that which would make our lives complete.

Within those eyes were answers,
to questions from the past,
Knowing we’d created a love,
that would forever last.

As gently as the image came,
it slowly faded away,
But not before I heard the words,
to me you'd softly say;

“Follow the beating of your heart,
until your falling tears have stopped.
Let go of the sadness you carry within,
let it go and let love in.
The choice is yours, which path to take.
Just know that where it leads I pray;
Is back to my arms forever to stay”.

Then full of hope those tiny eyes,
held my heart one last time.
And in my heart to him I’d say;

“Yes, my precious unborn ones,
who’s lives have yet begun;
I will hold on, I will be strong
and one day you shall see,
Those same brown eyes loving you,
found their way back to me”.
