THROUGH CLOSED EYES
I close my eyes and listen
The sounds of life are there
The trickling sound of water
Bird song for all to share.
The clicking of the garden gate
Footsteps fast approaching
I hold my breath and hope to hear
The door-bell loudly ringing.
I close my eyes and listen
Hear the howl of winds outside
Rain drops falling rapidly
These sounds I hear with pride.
Children playing in the park
Their playful noise to hear
I recall my own young life of play
As I wipe away a tear.
I close my eyes and listen
Hear the clock strike five
I give thanks for yet another day
It’s so good to be alive.
