I CLOSE MY EYES AND THE MEMORY TURN TO PRAYERS

I close my eyes, but the memories remain

A whispered prayer, a heartfelt refrain

The echoes of love, the whispers of pain

A bittersweet reminder, of moments in vain

In the silence, I hear your voice

A gentle whisper, a heartfelt choice

To hold on to the past, or let go

To find solace in memories, or let them grow

I close my eyes, and the memories unfold

Like a tapestry, of moments to behold

The laughter, the tears, the joy, the strife

A life once lived, a love that's rife

But in the darkness, a light shines through

A prayer of hope, a heart that's true

The memories, they guide me still

A beacon in the night, a gentle will

I close my eyes, and the memories pray

For strength, for courage, for a brighter day

To heal the wounds, to mend the heart

To find peace in the memories, and never depart

In the stillness, I find my way

Through the echoes, of a bygone day

The memories, they whisper low

Of love, of loss, of letting go

I close my eyes, and the memories speak

Of moments cherished, of hearts that seek

To hold on to the past, or move ahead

To find solace in memories, or forge ahead

The memories, they linger on

A bittersweet reminder, of what's gone

But in the prayer, I find my peace

A sense of calm, a heart that's released

I close my eyes, and the memories fade

Into the shadows, of a distant shade

But the prayer remains, a heartfelt cry

A whispered hope, a love that won't die

In the quiet, I find my rest

A sense of closure, a heart that's blessed

The memories, they slowly fade

But the love remains, a love that's made

And in the silence, I hear a voice

A gentle whisper, a heartfelt choice

To let go of the past, and move ahead

To find solace in memories, and be led.
